Residents in Havenstreet near Ryde are being urged to remain vigilant after 3 thefts in the village in the past week.
A scooter was taken from outside a property at some point on Tuesday evening (14th July). It was later found damaged and abandoned near to Firestone Copse.
On the same evening, close to the community centre, a car was broken into with a watch and jacket stolen from within.
CCTV footage is understood to have captured 2 males in hoodies in the vicinity at shortly before 23:00. Police have been alerted to the incidents and are investigating.
The 2 thefts come after a new property being built near St Peter’s Court was broken into over the weekend. At some point between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning, a number of power tools and other items were stolen after entry was forced into the building.
Anyone with information relating to these incidents should contact Police on 101 or via https://www.hampshire.police.uk/contact/af/contact-us/.
Used to be a nice little quite village, now, as more houses are crammed into Ryde, all such places will feel the crime wave expand outwards, until there is nowhere left to hide.
Stop the mass building of Ryde.
