Kenilworth’s Safer Neighbourhood Team are urging continued vigilance after criminal activity took place last night in the town at two addresses close by one another. After failing to gain entry at one address offenders moved onto another address close by, gaining entry to the house, taking items and the car keys for a vehicle parked outside which was then stolen.
Here are the details of these latest events and if you have any information please call Warwickshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
