Theft from a vehicle Rothersthorpe Avenue, Northampton.

Dear Resident

We are appealing for information after unknown person/s have used unknown instrument to saw/grind off the locks of a van. Person/s have then entered vehicle and stolen generator from inside.

The theft occurred on 07/07/2026 10:00 - 09/07/2026 11:45.

We are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information relating to the theft of these items or that may have been in the area around the time of the incident and heard or seen anything suspicious. Please call us on 101 quoting reference number 26000403897or report to us online here.

You can also pass on information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

There are some simple but effective things you can do to help protect your vehicle:

Park your car in a garage or driveway if possible, or on a busy, well-lit road. Choose a ParkMark® accredited public car park wherever possible

Never leave anything on display in your car. The cost to repair damage to the vehicle will usually exceed the value of the theft

Drivers of some Toyota and Honda vehicles and some 4 x 4’s should install measures to deter theft of catalytic converts e.g Catloc | Catalytic Convertor Theft Protection

Further security tips and crime prevention advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
