Action required please:

If you live in STEDMAN CLOSE or adjoining SWAKELEYS ROAD please take time to examine your CCTV system for any information regarding the vehicle in which the thieves arrived and departed which was seen on overview CCTV in Stedman Close between 0445hrs and 0447hrs.

If you live en route between that point and Waitrose Car Park, Ruislip, again please examine any CCTV footage between and 0447hrs and 0500hrs approx.

If you have any information regarding two vehicles in convoy at about that time, even if this is just a make/colour, then please contact the police using the methods below and quoting the above crime reference.
 

Crime Prevention:

Please try and prevent vehicle crime by securing your vehicle by secondary means - a steering lock is a good start.  If your car is keyless then you can help to prevent relay theft by securing your keys and the spare inside a Faraday pouch which you will still need to keep well away from the front door.

Once you have informed the police you can contact the local Neighbourhood Watch team at ickenhamnhw@gmail.com who are liaising directly with the police and the vehicle owner.
