Overnight we have had two confirmed 2 in 1 burglaries in in the Selby district.
A ‘2 in 1’ burglary is where a criminal breaks into your home specifically to remove your car keys and steal your car.
The two burglaries took place on 25th June 2024 in the early hours of this morning when a grey Skoda Octavia was stolen from Lilac Oval in Hillam, and a black Golf GTI was stolen from Greengage Link in Sherburn in Elmet.
A full investigation is underway, but we’re now urging members of the public to remain vigilant and take simple steps to protect their home and property.
The more difficult it is for a burglar to break into your home the less likely they are to bother.
Here are some ways you can protect both your car and home from being targeted in a car key burglary:
As part of our investigation into the two burglaries we’re appealing for any information, CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell camera footage, that may have caputures something.
Anyone with any information is asked to email [email protected] or call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for Mark Cahill.
Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Please quote reference number 12240112154 when passing on information.
