BMW and handmade scrubs stolen in Harrogate burglary
Burglars made off in a BMW with a first aid kit, a box of face masks and two sets of handmade doctor's scrubs from a home in south Harrogate.
The Westbourne Avenue home was targeted between midnight and 6.45am on Saturday, June 20, when thieves broke in and took the keys for the grey BMW 220 D, which was on the driveway.
The car was recovered later that day after crashing and being abandoned on the way to Wetherby. However, items from inside the car were stolen.
As well as the face masks, scrubs and first aid kit, they included a child's car seat, Ray-Ban sunglasses and a make-up bag. A personalised thermometer was also stolen from a doctor's bag, but the bag was left outside the house.
