Vehicle crime

Dear residents of LYNDON, 

We received reports of an unknown person  trying vehicle doors, but also  getting access to the vehicle and stealing  from inside. On a few occasions, items have been stolen such as cash or other personal belongings.  

We  conducted house to house enquires looking for CCTV  to help us identify the unknown person. As a result  of the house to house enquires, we have identified other properties/vehicles that have been targeted by the same individual.

The areas that we have identified the same unknown male as committing crime  so far is KNIGHTSBRIDGE ROAD,LYNDON ROAD and BARRINGTON ROAD.  The  unknown male has been trying vehicle doors and stealing from the vehicle on 01/04/26 early hours in the morning between 02:00am-05:00am. 

On a different note, a couple of reports have been received in relation to an unknown person  trying vehicle doors, but also getting access to the vehicle and stealing from inside on HOBS MEADOW ROAD and DENE COURT ROAD.  HOBS MEADOW was targeted on 31/03/26 at around 04:00am  and there is no exact time for DENE COURT ROAD , only that it was during the evening of 29/03/26 into the early hours of the morning on 30/03/26.We do not know at this stage if this is the same male that committed crime in KNIGHTSBRIDGE ROAD, LYNDON ROAD and BARRINGTON ROAD.

With this in mind, could I please ask if you could kindly check your CCTV for the days mentioned above to see if you have also been a victim of crime and report it to us. We are working very hard to try and identify the suspect and take action.

If you saw or heard anything or have any information please call our non-emergency number 101.
