Two cars stolen as Harrogate street targeted for second time
Two cars were stolen from a driveway in Harrogate when thieves broke into the house and stole the keys.
The Audi Q7, registration YH66 MHR, has since been recovered, but the black Toyota Hilux, registration YF69 EYF, has still not been found.
The two-in-one burglary also saw a handbag containing a deep red Kate Spade purse and distinctive make-up bag taken from the home, on Westbourne Avenue. The handbag was found outside - minus the contents - following the theft, which took place on Tuesday, July 28 between 1am and 6am.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward. A spokesman said:
To contact police, call 101, select option two and ask for Liz Estensen, or email elizabeth.estensen@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk. Alternatively, to report information anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Quote North Yorkshire Police reference number 12200128831.
It is the second time in six weeks that a two-in-one burglary has been carried out in the same street. On June 20, a first-aid kit, a doctor's bag and some handmade scrubs were taken from a home in Westbourne Avenue, and thieves took the keys for the BMW 220D on the driveway.
The car and most of the items were later recovered, but a personalised thermometer, child's car seat, Ray-Ban sunglasses and a make-up bag were taken from the car.
