Kingston, Sutton and Croydon residents warned over county-hopping BMW-driving burglars targeting A3 corridor

Surbiton.com: February 13, 2015 - 4:21pm

Police are hunting “well organised” teams of cross-county burglars who target homes for raids on particular days.

The men, believed to be travellers or of eastern European origin, use high-performance cars like BMWs and Audis to get in and out of their target area, and often raid several homes for cash and jewellery in one visit.

Kingston detectives said the groups were being tracked by police forces in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, as well as the Metropolitan police. They warned residents of Kingston, Sutton and Croydon to be vigilant, and said so far the groups appear to have operated along the A3 corridor, particularly in New Malden. DCI Claire Moxon, head of Kingston CID said no arrests have yet been made.

Call 101 with any information or 999 in an emergency.
