A VIDEO still of a hooded man shining a torch through car windows has been shared with townspeople after at least four incidents of thefts from cars and suspicious behaviour last week.

The passenger window of a silver Skoda parked in Red Meadow car park, Ross-on-Wye, was smashed overnight on November 24 to November 25 and £25 in coins stolen.

Ross-on-Wye Safer Neighbourhood Team also said that overnight on November 26 to 27, a red Audi A4 driver’s window was smashed on the driveway in Mount Pleasant and two pairs of designer sunglasses stolen.

The next night, the passenger window of a blue Ford Fiesta parked in Kings Acre lower car park was broken and a wallet and air pods taken.

Then at 1am on Sunday, November 28, a suspicious man was captured on security footage looking into vehicles and trying door handles in Brookmead.

The man was wearing a black hoodie and light grey joggers and had a backpack.

Lee Knapper shared the image of the suspect looking into two vehicles parked on his driveway, and said: "After conversations with West Mercia Police I have been asked to share this to warn residents that this is happening in our neighbourhood and town.

"Get in touch with the Safer Neighbourhood Team if you have any information that could help catch them."

A Ross-on-Wye Safer Neighbourhood Team spokesperson said: "Please be vigilant, review your vehicle security and do not leave valuables on display."

Two weeks ago, the Gazette published a CCTV still of masked men trying a locked gate at a house in Ashfield Crescent at 3.36am on November 9.

The same night two children’s bikes were stolen from a shed in the next road, prompting one resident to say his Ring camera at the front of his home had captured a masked man by his car on November 1 at 2.03am.
