Two teenagers have been summoned to court in connection with a spate of vehicle crime offences.

A 19-year-old man from London and a 17-year-old boy from Bushey are charged with six thefts from a motor vehicle, four interferences with a motor vehicle and an attempted theft of a motor vehicle in Croxley Green.

The offences were allegedly committed in Frankland Road and Bateman Road in July 2019.

Both teens are due to appear before Magistrates in St Albans on Tuesday February 11.

Detective Sergeant Rob Muir, from the Three Rivers Local Crime Unit, said: “We continue to do all we can to crackdown on vehicle crime. As part of this, we need members of the public to assist us by taking simple steps to help ensure their vehicles are not a target for opportunist thieves.

“Always double check that your vehicle is fully locked and that all windows are closed when leaving it unattended. You should also make sure to remove all valuable items, including sunglasses and loose change, from display as this can attract criminals.

“Lastly, but very importantly, if you witness any suspicious activity around vehicles, please report it to police straightaway and always dial 999 if a crime is in progress.”
