Some time during last night, a hire car was stolen from the cup-de-sac. Police believe that the robbers open a down stairs window and used a fishing rod to steal the car keys and the remote control for the electronic gates.The car hire company report several similar cases already this month.Please be on your guard i.e. close and lock doors, grills, windows and shutters at night and when away from your property and do not leaves items of value on view through windows. It's that time of year again so please take care.
