A spokesman said: “Simple common sense measures will reduce their chances of becoming a victim of crime.
“Nowadays, it is common for people to store expensive goods and equipment in their sheds, garages and outbuildings which is precisely why householders should take steps to ensure their belongings are safe and make life as hard as possible for the opportunist thief.”
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have heard or saw any suspicious activity in their area to report it to Tayside Division on 101 or speak to any police officer.
Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
