Police are appealing for witnesses and after a car was stolen in Welwyn Garden City.

A police spokeswoman said that between Sunday evening and Monday morning a blue Ford Mondeo was stolen from a driveway in Bushey Ley.

Gemma Searle, whose husband Tim owns the car, said: “We felt sick to the stomach, it’s a massive invasion of our privacy as personal things are in the car.

“Now a couple of days after I’ve had to buy a lock for my car for added security, and feel now I have to add more security to my house.

“It has scared me that they were that close to my front door.”

The spokeswoman encouraged anyone with information to contact police via 101, quoting crime reference B1/17/12.
