Dyfed-Powys Police is investigating a spate of thefts in Carmarthenshire, including cars being stolen.

Two cars, tools from a parked van, and number plates have been stolen between January 18 and 30, in the Carmarthen town and Johnstown areas.

All incidents were reported to have taken place overnight.

The two stolen vehicles have since been located.

“We would like to thank those who have already helped us with our investigations and ask anyone with CCTV or doorbell cam footage of anyone acting suspiciously on their property, or footage of a Red Toyota Aygo or Silver Renault Kadjar driving down their street between these dates to get in touch,” said a police spokesperson.

“Reports have also been made of people trying car doors in the area, so we are asking people to make sure their vehicles are secure at all times.

“Always lock your vehicle and shut windows and physically check that car doors are locked.

“Never leave personal items on show.

“Park your car in a well lit area under or near a street light if not at home.

“When at home, use a driveway or garage when possible and consider CCTV.

“Set an alarm or immobiliser if not provided by the manufacturer.”
