Police in Peterborough are appealing for help after a string of car thefts in Dogsthorpe.
Officers were called at 1.07am on Tuesday morning (9 April) reporting possible thefts from vehicles in the Crocus Grove area.
A man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the reports.
Suspected stolen items were recovered, however police say they are looking to identify where they have come from.
The items include a pair of Superdry sunglasses, a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, JLab earbuds and £21.90 in cash.
The man has since been released on conditional bail to return to Thorpe Wood Police Station on 8 July while we carry out further enquiries.
Sergeant Andy Watson said: “We’re keen to hear from anyone who believes any of the recovered items belong to them, but I would also ask people in the Dogsthorpe area to check any video doorbell footage and report any suspicious activity to us, even if it is trying door handles and not gaining entry to vehicles.
“Please also make sure your vehicles are locked when leaving them unattended – opportunistic thieves will chance their luck, trying door handles until the come across one that is open and take whatever they can find.”
