Appeal for Information Following Vehicle Theft on Delhi Road

Appeal for Information Following Vehicle Theft on Delhi Road

I wanted to provide an update regarding the theft of motor vehicles,  which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Please be advised that officers have been made aware of a second theft of motor vehicle has been reported. The latest incident involved the theft of motor vehicle without keys and occurred on Delhi Road between approximately 23:50 and 23:55hours on the 11/11/2026. CCTV footage is believed to be available, however this currently being handled by the officer is charge of the investigation.
We are appealing to all residents who may have CCTV footage, ring doorbell recording or any other relevant footage covering Delhi Road at the time of the incident to please bring it to the attention of your ward team as this can get passed on to the officer in charge of the investigation.

Crime prevention MOV:
• Use steering wheel lock
• Park near CCTV or well lit areas
• Consider wheel clamp
• Rhinos/driveway blockades
• Faraday pouches
• Ghost immobilisers
• Motion sensor lights at the front and back of residency
•

Any information, no matter how small it seems can help assist the investigation

Kind regards,

We know that people can be concerned about the personal and financial impact of having their vehicle stolen, which is why we will pursue and arrest those who break the law. Please consider taking the following steps to keep your vehicle safe:  

• Check that your vehicle is locked and secure every time you leave it. Thieves often look for easy opportunities to steal from vehicles. They will usually try the handles until they get lucky and find one that has been left unlocked.  

• Keep your keys safe, out of view when at home and away from your front door.  

• If you have a keyless entry vehicle, keep the key well away from the vehicle while at home and turn off wireless signals on your fob when its not being used. Consider putting the keys in a screened or signal blocking pouch, such as a Faraday Bag and check that it is still working every few months.  

• Park your vehicle in a private garage if you can. If you don’t have access to one, try to park in a well –lit open space.  

• Try to use public car parks that are part of the police approved Park Mark safer parking scheme.  

• Secure your number plates with tamper resistant screws to avoid them being stolen and used by others.
