Ford 'Fiesta' taxi linked to four burglaries in Cotswoldshttps://www.cotswoldjournal.co.uk/news/ ... cotswolds/
A SEARCH is underway to find a vehicle linked to at least four burglaries in the Cotswolds.
The car, described as a white Ford taxi, has been spotted near the sites of four burglaries in the Cotswolds.
They include Todenham near Moreton and Church Westcote near Stow.
In each incident, the thieves targeted construction materials and equipment before fleeing the scene.
The latest burglary took place in Church Westcote overnight between July 2 and July 3, with thieves targeting two garages.
Witnesses believed they saw a white Ford Fiesta with a taxi sign leave the area.
A Gloucestershire Constabulary spokesperson said: "We are appealing for information following two overnight burglaries in the north of the district and asking for help from members to identify a car that may be linked to last night's burglaries and at least two others in the Cotswolds.
"Overnight, Wednesday, July 2, into Thursday, July 3, two properties in Church Westcote near Stow-on-the-Wold have been burgled.
"In both cases, garages have been accessed and attempts have been made to steal tools.
"A witness at one of these properties saw the offenders fleeing the scene in a white Ford motor car, possibly a Fiesta, that had a 'Taxi' sign on its roof.
"In mid-June a property under construction in the village of Todenham near Moreton-in-Marsh was burgled.
"Construction tools and materials were stolen. The victim reported seeing a white Taxi acting suspiciously in the area shortly before the burglary.
"In the very early hours of May 22, a farm building at Quenington near Fairford was burgled and construction tools were stolen.
"CCTV enquiries have identified the car pictured as being of interest.
"It is not ‘wearing’ a rooftop taxi sign but we are keen to identify the livery on the door and explore the possibility of a link to last night's break-ins.
"If you saw the white taxi in the Church Westcote area last night then please let us know, quoting incident 43 of 3rd July."
