Witness appeal following burglaries in Bletchingley

A trio of burglars struck at houses across Bletchingley on Monday.

The night-time raids all featured garages and outbuildings being targeted for quadbikes, tools and gardening equipment.

The first suspect is described as a white male in a black baseball cap, black parka, blue jeans and black trainers.
His accomplices were both also white. One was wearing a beanie hat and parka jacket with orange zips, while the other wore a green camo hat and blue jeans.

Tandridge Neighbourhood Policing Team Sergeant, William Nicholas, said: “I would like to reassure residents that we are doing all we can to catch these suspects. If you have any information, or smart doorbell footage, that you think might help, please get in touch as soon as possible. It’s also worth noting that they have been deterred by house alarms, so, if you have one, please make sure you use it.”
