CCTV Image Released in Connection With Van Thefts

Thames Valley Police is releasing an image of a man officers wish to speak to as they believe he may have vital information about thefts from vans in Henley.

At around 1.15pm on 18 April, a vehicle pulled up next to a van parked in Phyllis Court. An offender got out of the vehicle and walked over to the van before the vehicle was driven away.  The offender tried all of the van doors before forcing them open with a tool. They then passed multiple garden tools to another offender before leaving.

Vans parked at Henley Rugby Club in Marlow Road, Henley-on-Thames, also had tools stolen from inside them on the same day which belonged to contractors working at the Kenton Theatre.
