THREE cars, cash and computer equipment were stolen from two properties in Waterways, 3.50am, Monday 13 March.
The thieves stole $800 from a man’s wallet and car keys from a Volkswagen Golf parked in a driveway in Coorong Circle. The keys were used to steal a Subaru sedan parked across the street. Inside was an iMac Air laptop and iPad valued at $2700. A Holden Astra hatch was also rifled in the driveway on the same night and a Dell laptop stolen. The Subaru was later recovered from Starlight Cr, Waterways, with the laptop and iPad inside.
Two cars were stolen from the garage of a house directly opposite at the same time. Thieves entered via an open garage and stole two sets of car keys from a side table in the hallway, as well as a woman’s handbag and Apple MacBook valued at $2250.
The owners awoke when they heard their cars – a VW Golf and a black Ford Territory – being started and driven from the garage. The Golf was later recovered but the Territory is still missing.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
