Theft of car – Edenbridge
A black VW Golf was stolen from outside an address at Greshams Way, Edenbridge today Wednesday 25 January shortly after 8.30am.
The owner of the vehicle had been de-icing the car and left it insecure for a very short period, when she returned to the car she saw it driving away in the direction of Crouch House Road.
A red Metro car was seen in the area at the time the theft happened.
Police crime reduction advice is never to leave your vehicle insecure at any time.
Sgt Michael Perryman, West Kent Crime Reduction Dept said; “On icy mornings drivers need to allow extra time to make sure their vehicles are clear before moving off. If you decide to start your car and leave the engine running you should make sure you use the spare key to lock it. It would be safer to stay with your car.”
Anyone with any information about this incident is asked to contact West Kent Police on 01732 370732 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Callers to Crimestoppers do not have to leave their name.
