Witness appeal following multiple thefts from delivery vans

We are appealing for witnesses after three delivery van drivers were targeted on Wednesday (1 November) within the space of an hour, which we believe to all be linked.

At around 9:20am, suspects driving a light blue Toyota Yaris approached a delivery van driver in Embercourt Road, Thames Ditton, and threatened them with weapons, before stealing contents from the van.

At around 9:45am, suspects driving a dark blue/black Audi A3 targeted another delivery van driver in The Parade, Sunbury Cross, in Sunbury-on-Thames, before switching cloned plates and targeting another delivery van driver at around 10:05am in Trinity Close, Stanwell.

Detective Inspector Doug Ashman, said: “Thankfully, none of the drivers targeted suffered any injuries but were all left extremely shaken. We would like to reassure the local community that we are doing everything possible to identify these offenders and ensure they are brought to justice.

“We are appealing for the public’s help to identify any of the persons shown and the drivers of the cars pictured in the CCTV images, as we believe they can assist with our investigation.”
