Police looking for teenage boy after cash, jewellery and PlayStation taken during Hemel break-in

The theft occurred at the garage in Vauxhall Road

Cash, jewellery, a handbag and a Playstation were all taken from a home in Hemel Hempstead on Friday, May 26.

The break-in occurred  between 9.15am and midday when offenders broke into the house on Craigavon Road, Grove Hill, via a rear window.

This followed a suspicious incident at the address one week earlier, when a teenage male knocked on the door claiming that a ball had gone into the garden of the  property. When the garden was checked no ball was found.

Detective Constable Chris Phillips said: “The teenager who knocked at the door was aged approximately 17-19 years old, had medium-length dirty blond hair, and was wearing a grey jacket.

“I am appealing to any who has any information about this incident to come forward, in particular if you saw a man of this description in the area at the time or in the days or weeks before the break-in occurred.”
