On Thursday, June 11, one offender walked along and then up the victims drive and peered into the victim's car.

They then walked around the house shining the torch at the front door and windows before walking off.

The second time on the same night, a masked offender wearing a white top and white tracksuit bottoms walked up the victims drive, appeared to use a device to copy the signal from the owner's car key which was inside the house, and then opened the car.

The car was searched but nothing was stolen.

A third car was searched and loose change and a pair of Rayban sunglasses were stolen and on the fourth night, another car was searched but nothing was stolen.

Police were also alerted to reports of a person trying car door handles and walking up and down driveways.

The incident happened on the same night at 5am on Holmes Close, when a car door was opened and a green Trek Marlin Mountain Bike had been stolen.

Officers attended and carried out a search but couldn't find the culprit.

A spokesman said: "Opportunist thieves are in the area, looking for easy targets. Please see below the reports in Sunninghill of an offender walking around in the early hours, simply trying car door handles and then whilst there, checking out houses and garages.

"We have today organised for PCSOs to carry out additional patrols around the Sunninghill area and to talk to local residents about car crime, and making sure that their cars are locked and nothing, is left on display."
