Theft of a car

Dear Resident

We are appealing for information after a car was stolen in Harringworth Road, Gretton.

The theft occurred between on 19/01/2026 and 20/01/2026 between the times 09:00PM and 09:20AM.

Did you witness anything? Did you see anyone or any vehicle(s) in the area that looked suspicious? If so, then please contact Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting 26000036735. Alternatively you can report 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

Physically check your central locking system has activated to ensure the signal hasn’t been blocked and the car left unlocked

Store keys for keyless entry cars in a RFID pouch or foil lined tin to block signal from scanners that will remotely unlock your car e.g Defender Signal Blocker

Further security tips and advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
