The crime took place on May 12 at 10.30am. Witnesses can call police 101.

PCSO Darryl Hook is now urging people not to leave anything valuable on display.

He said: ‘Do not leave anything in your vehicle. A jacket or coat left behind may be of very little value to you, but a thief may think it has been used to hide a laptop or handbag and will break into your vehicle to find out.

‘Before you leave home, think about what you need and leave any unnecessary items of value at home.’
