Bracknell

One of two high-performance cars stolen in a burglary at a house in Binfield, Binfield yesterday (18/9) has been recovered by police, but the other vehicle is still outstanding, and detectives investigating the crime are appealing for witnesses.

At 3.30am on Monday 18 September, a Bracknell resident of Fisher Green, Binfield, was woken up by the sound of a car reversing. He looked out of the window to see his silver Porsche Boxster being reversed out of his driveway.

As he watched, he saw the lights of his wife’s new blue Mini Cooper go on, and that vehicle was also driven away.

Burglars had broken into the house and stolen the keys to both cars, as well as a laptop, purse and wallet.

The Porsche was found by police in Reading at about 3pm yesterday (18/9), and recovered for forensic examination. However, the Mini and other stolen property is still missing.

Det Con Iain Watkinson of the Bracknell Priority Crime Team, who is investigating the thefts, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed these cars being driven in the area yesterday, or who saw anyone behaving suspiciously at the time the burglary occurred.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det Con Watkinson on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
