Police investigating 'series' of car key burglaries
They say three unknown men were spotted wearing dark clothes - breaking into to two houses before taking their cars - in Radstock and Midsomer Norton
After a 'series' of car key burglaries in Radstock and Midsomer Norton, Avon and Somerset Police want your help to try and find those behind them.
Back on the 27th of August, officers reported three unknown men wearing dark clothes, breaking into houses and stealing the cars on their drives.
Two of the three stolen vehicles are yet to be recovered.
Officers say the incidents happened at around 1am, and add that the men attempted to break into a third property but were unsuccessful.
One of the three stolen vehicles has since been recovered and enquiries are ongoing to locate the other two stolen vehicles.
Officer in the case, PC Tracy Bond, said: “We understand that incidents like this can be incredibly distressing for many people. Not only are people coming into your home, your safe space, without your consent, but they are also taking something which, for many of us, we require for our livelihoods.
“We are working with our colleagues in the Neighbourhood Policing Team to carry out patrols in the area and ask anyone who sees anything suspicious to get in touch.
“We are doing everything we can to investigate these crimes, but we need the public’s help. If you saw anything, or have any relevant footage of Holly Walk, in Radstock, Beauchamp Avenue, in Midsomer Norton, or Waterside Road, in Westfield, please get in touch.”
