Thieves broke into two vans and stole items from sheds and out-buildings in Hawes and Gayle.
The incidents happened on Monday night or early Tuesday morning.
One van was targeted in The Greens in Hawes.
A reversing camera was taken out. A fuse box was also damaged. Police believe this was part of an attempt to steal the vehicle.
Thieves broke into another van, which was broken into previously about a fortnight ago when around a thousand pounds worth of tools were taken.
In another incident a child’s bike and helmet, a hoover and a radio were yaken from a shed.
The child’s mum said her son was autistic and used the bike as a release.
She said he was very upset at the theft.
Police have urged households in the Hawes and Gayle area to check their sheds and outbuildings following the crimes.
Antone with information should call 101.
