Police are appealing for witnesses following the theft of two vehicles in Epsom - one of which had been converted for a wheelchair.

Officers were called to Burghfield following reports of two vehicles being stolen from a driveway at some point between 10pm on Wednesday night (January 19) and 7am on Thursday morning (January 20).

The suspects managed to steal the car keys by ‘fishing’ through the letterbox.

They then took both the blue Audi Q5 and blue Ford Torneo Custom van that had been adapted for wheelchair use, that were parked on the driveway and headed off at speed down East Street and on to the Ewell Bypass.

Police say they are trying to identify three suspects who were seen on CCTV arriving at the location.

They have been described as three men, of slim build all wearing hoods and balaclavas and what appears to be dark clothing.

Officers say they want to hear from anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious in the area.

You can make contact on the 101 number – or by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
