We remain very keen to identify and arrest the individual responsible for the incident at Itchycoo. I have deliberately not included a description, as it could potentially apply to a number of people.

If you see anyone in carparks with a car-jack alert security or if you see them under a car and you believe they are up to no good, please call Police. Do Not put yourself in any danger. 

Until next week,

Be Good, Have Fun, Stay Safe
