Raid Under Cover of Darkness
Burglars struck in the dead of night, stealing two vehicles from a driveway in Burghfield between 10pm Wednesday (Jan 19) and 7am Thursday (Jan 20). The crooks pulled off a slick move, “fishing” car keys through the letterbox before making off with both rides.
Targeted Vehicles Taken for a Rapid Getaway
The loot included a blue Audi Q5 and a blue Ford Tourneo Custom van, specially adapted for wheelchair users. Both were parked outside and driven off at speed along East Street, heading towards the Ewell Bypass.
