A PAIR of thieves stole from the boot of a parked car at Reading Services.

At 4pm on Tuesday May 29, two men were seen entering the boot of a grey Vauxhall Insignia after the vehicle's driver had parked it at Reading Services off the Westbound carriageway.

Whilst the pair did not force entry, they stole items from the boot and placed them into a different car, a light grey or blue Renault Laguna. 

Thames Valley Police released the above image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with this theft.

Investigating officer PC Kathryn Tough, from Hungerford and Downlands Policing Team, said: “I would like to speak to the man shown in the image as he may have important information about the incident, in which items were stolen from a vehicle.

“We are appealing for anyone with any information or who saw what happened to come forward and contact police. We are also appealing for the victim of the theft to come forward as they are yet to be traced.

“Following a number of similar incidents, in which it is believed a signal jammer device has been used, we would like to remind motorists stopping at motorway service stations to look and listen for confirmation that their vehicle has locked before walking away from it.

“You should manually check the door handle after attempting to lock your car and never leave any valuables in the vehicle. If you are not able to lock your vehicle using your key remote, please do not leave it unattended.

“Please report any suspicious activity to police as it is taking place immediately by dialling 999. Alternatively, you can report information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
