Burglary, Tavistock

We are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following reports of a burglary in Tavistock on Monday 19 January.

It was reported that two men attended an address on Whitchurch Road, Tavistock, offering to prune some trees after telling the occupant that complaints had been made about branches that were overhanging a neighbour’s property.

The occupant accompanied one of the men into the garden to discuss the work and later discovered that a quantity of cash had been taken from his home.

Officers are appealing to anybody who saw anything suspicious in the Whitchurch Road area between midday and 1.30pm on 19 January, as they try to identify the two men.

They would also like to hear from anyone who saw a silver pick-up/transit-style truck that was parked in the road around the same time.

If you witnessed the incident or have any information or dashcam footage that could help with enquiries, please contact us via our website here or by calling 101 quoting 50260015310.

Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling freephone 0800 555111.
