The unknown thief forced back doors to enter the properties and made off with a range of items – including cash and jewellery.
The break-ins all took place between 5am and 6.30am on Friday.
Police have now released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incidents.

"He was described as wearing a flat cap, a fur lined hooded coat and a black scarf or face covering.
"We are keen to hear from anyone who checks their CCTV footage in nearby roads and noticed any suspicious behaviour in the area too."
