Ipswich - Theft from vehicle

Police are appealing for witnesses to a theft of cash from a vehicle in Ipswich.

It took place at the Euro Retail Park on The Sandlings on Tuesday 24 October at some point between 10.10am and 10.30am.

It is thought two suspects are thought to have watched a male victim withdraw £3000 in cash from inside a bank. The victim left the bank and entered his parked vehicle, a silver 4x4 pick up and then drove to nearby B & Q in the same retail park. Whilst he was in B&Q entry was forced into the vehicle by the offenders smashing a passenger window of the vehicle and the money was taken. The suspects then fled the scene in a vehicle.

Police are asking for people to stay vigilant if they are withdrawing large amounts of money from banks and would advise them not to leave any cash amount or valuable items in their vehicles and to report any suspicious behaviour.

Officers are continuing investigations into the incident and anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour at the time, knows who was responsible or has experienced a similar situation recently to call Ipswich police quoting crime number 37/62205/23.
