On Monday 30 October 2023, four BMW cars were targeted overnight in Highgrove Road, Rover Road, McKenzie Road and Smith Road. Steering wheels were stolen by thieves who smashed a window to gain access to each vehicle’s interior.
Inspector Daniel Blatter, of the Medway Community Safety Unit said:‘These These thefts leave victims with a significant repair bill and our officers have been patrolling the area in marked and unmarked vehicles looking to stop and arrest suspects.
‘In the meantime, I would advise car owners, particularly those with BMWs, to park their cars in a well-lit place, on a driveway, or in a garage, when not in use. If you see somebody acting suspiciously near a car and you think a crime is about to be committed, you should call 999.’
