Rolleston Police are investigating a series of vehicle break-ins and are appealing to the public for information.

Senior Constable Matt Barraclough said officers had received multiple reports of vehicles allegedly being broken into in the early hours of Monday 8 July and Friday 11 July.

“These have occurred in the Arbor Green, Harrison Drive, Marcoola Crescent, and Brenley Drive areas,” he said.

Police are asking residents to check any available CCTV or dashcam footage in the surrounding areas.

“Specifically, we would like to hear from anyone who may have seen a person riding a scooter in the Brenley Drive, Marcoola Crescent, and Harrison Drive areas at around 4am on Friday,” Barraclough said.

Police reminded the public to take steps to reduce the chance of being targeted, including locking vehicles, parking off-street or in well-lit areas, removing any valuables, using a steering lock or wheel clamp, and installing cameras around or inside their vehicle.
