Cars raided in Annan

Police in Annan are investigating thefts from the two cars in the town sometime overnight last Wednesday 18/Thursday 19 November 2015.

In the first one a blue coloured Ford Focus car which was parked in Drummond Road in the town was entered and a handbag stolen.  The bag contained a small amount of cash, debit and credit cards, personal items and perfume.

In a second theft,. a black Peugeot 207 car which was parked in Princes Avenue overnight was entered and a Tom Tom sat nav and a phone charger stolen.

Constable Jim Tweedie at Annan said: “Clearly someone has been prowling about the streets overnight Wednesday/Thursday looking for the opportunity to steal from cars.  We are appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious to get in touch if they can help identify those responsible.

“Likewise it may be the case that other vehicles may have been entered although nothing stolen.  Again, we want to hear from anyone who thinks that their vehicle may have been entered.

“I would take this opportunity to remind drivers to ensure that vehicles are locked and secure, no matter how short a a time they may be away from them, and of course to make sure that nothing is left on view which might give a thief the temptation to break into the vehicle.

“Property should be removed, or at least placed out of sight when left in the vehicle.”
