We are appealing for information after entry was gained to a car in Icknield Drive, West Hunsbury.
The attempted theft occurred at 0350am on 16th March 2026 when an unknown male has gained entry to an insecure vehicle and completed a search of the vehicle whilst it was parked on Icknield Drive, West Hunsbury.
We are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information relating to the theft of these items or that may have been in the area around the time of the incident and heard or seen anything suspicious. Please call us on 101 quoting reference number 26000151402 or report to us online here.
You can also pass on information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:
- Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road. Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible
- Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft
- Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection
Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
