Several, nearly new, vehicles have been stolen recently in
Wimborne, Ferndown and Wareham with the keys left in the ignition
whilst the owner is unloading, defrosting their windscreen or
working on site.
These have mainly been the 4 x 4 pickups like Mitsubishi
Warriors but there has been one new transit van and 2
new cars stolen.
We have a description of a silver Volkwagan Passat with the rear
window replaced with a clear sheet of plastic which is tapped into
place.
A vehicle matching this description was on a farm in Mapperton
this morning at 10:00 am. 04 plate. Silver. Asian driver. Said to
have bleach blonde hair at the front but there would be 2 occupants
so that might apply to the other one.
We believe a theft is likely to occur today and we ask you all
to use the 999 system if you suspect a vehicle matching this
description. Incident 110 dated 29 Nov.
Please also consider your security and never leave your keys in
the ignition as your car is not insured if it were to be
stolen.
If you have any information regarding this message please call
the Dorset Police on 01202/01305 222222 or Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting the reference number
