Burglars steal three cars from driveway

Posted on January 31, 2006

A trio of nearly new cars worth more than £30,000 were snatched from the driveway of a house after thieves broke into the property to steal the ignition keys.

Intruders forced open a double-glazed front door some time between midnight and 6am yesterday (Monday) in Mill End Close, Eaton Bray and took a brief case plus the keys to a grey Vauxhall 1.4 Astra, a maroon 1.7 diesel Astra and a navy blue Vauxhall Corsa.

Leighton Police are hoping that the sound of the cars being started may have alerted neighbours and are appealing for witnesses.

Anyone with information should contact Pc Barbara Barron of the burglary response unit on 01234 741212.
