 Published on: 5th December 2019   |   By: News Bulletin   |   Category: Uncategorized

Officers investigating a theft from a car in Hunton Bridge have released CCTV footage of two people they would like to identify as part of their enquiries.

It happened in Gypsy Lane at around 4am on Thursday, November 21. Offender(s) gained entry to a black BMW and stole three electric drills.

PCSO Dan Barton, from the Abbots Langley Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We appreciate you cannot see the people’s faces clearly however you may recognise their clothing or their mannerisms.

“If you think you may know who they are, or you have any information about the incident, please get in touch quoting crime reference 41/105390/19.”

You can email PCSO Barton via daniel.barton@herts.pnn.police.uk, report information online at herts.police.uk/report, use online web chat here or call 101. 

Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visit their website crimestoppers-uk.org.

Herts Police would like to remind motorists to take the following steps when protecting their vehicle:

  • It might sound obvious, but make sure you lock the doors and shut the windows and sunroof whenever you leave your vehicle unattended.
  • Always take the keys out of the ignition even if you’re just stopping to buy a newspaper, paying for fuel, or popping back into your home to get something.
  • Be aware of your keys.  Don’t leave them lying around, visible or in pockets in changing rooms where they could be taken.  Don’t leave them visible on a window sill in your home or near to the front door, where they could be “hooked” through the letterbox.
  • Never leave any valuables in your vehicle – not even in the glovebox or boot – and keep ALL other possessions out of sight. Even if you know that there is nothing valuable in your coat pocket or bag left on the back seat, a thief may try their luck.
  • Remove your sat nav and its holder and wipe away any suction marks as these could suggest to a potential thief that a sat nav is stored in your vehicle.
  • Never leave vehicle documents in your car – don’t make it easy for a thief to sell your car or provide a cover story if stopped by the police.
  • Register your stereo, laptop, sat nav and any other property on the free online property database immobilise.com. It only takes a few minutes and could help police trace your property if it’s lost or stolen.
