Burglary and Two Cars Stolen in Lowestoft

Police are appealing for witnesses to a burglary and theft of two vehicles that took place in north Lowestoft.

The incident took place between 11pm on Sunday 14th February and 6.30am on Monday 15th February at a property in Mount Pleasant.

The Peugeot 208 was later found abandoned in Robertsbridge Walk, Carlton Colville, Lowestoft, while the Ford Galaxy was recovered abandoned in Sharon drive, Lowestoft.
