On Thursday 20th April, in Richings Park, a personal work van was moved across a driveway at night time, opened electronically and emptied out. Over £2000 worth of tools were taken, along with an ipad.

Fortunately for the owner(s), all the tools are identifiable and security marked and the ipad will also be unable to be used by the thieves.t

According to the police, many vehicles were opened electronically that night and many items were stolen. 

It has not yet been reported if the thieves have been identified. The neighbourhood has been asked to be aware of their vehicles, especially at night time and to keep an eye out on anybody selling tools.
