Dear Resident

We are investigating a reported car key burglary in Shaw Lane Albrighton where a Black BMW X3 was stolen and we want to reassure residents we are doing everything we can to trace those responsible. 

Between 9pm on Saturday 10th May and 08:30 Sunday 11th May, offender or offenders have forced entry into the property and taken the key for the vehicle.

If you’ve seen anything suspicious or have information that might help with enquires, please email sa.snt@westmercia.police.uk using reference 00109_I_11052025.

The information we receive from the public is essential in bringing criminals to justice. 

Important advice and information:

Car key burglary is when an offender breaks into a home with the specific aim of stealing car keys and the vehicle from the property.

Perpetrators often target specific vehicles, based on demand and value. If a criminal is targeting a certain vehicle, they will also be targeting the owner, looking for easy ways to exploit their security and get to their keys. 

If you think you are being followed or see any suspicious vehicles lurking, take the registration number and report it to us.

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Kind regards,

PCSO Steve Breese
