Norwich: CCTV released of St Stephen's Square scooter thefts

Jean Norris, who lives in a flat in Needham Place just off St Stephen's Square, lost her two vehicles when thieves entered a communal garage which had been left open due to work to fix its broken door.

During the raid on Wednesday, February 8 the thieves also took four bicycles belonging to people living in other flats in the 20-apartment complex.

Mrs Norris thought she had kept her scooters safe by taking their keys up to her flat.

She said: "It's unfortunate. Someone drove in to the garage and smashed the door and its mechanics so it doesn't go up and down on its own.

"They've had to leave it open while they're fixing it and repairs take time.

"It's so jolly mean, especially to come back again and take the other one.

"I've seen the CCTV from the first theft and they just wander in, roam around and drive away nonchalantly with everything.

"This has made me feel indignant."

Thieves first stole her red scooter on Wednesday, February 8, at about 4.30pm, before returning between 2pm on Friday, February 10 and 2pm on Saturday, February 11, to take her second gold scooter, which had been hidden under a rug.

Following the thefts police issued descriptions of the individuals, but now bosses at Norwich Residential Management have released the CCTV footage and images in an attempt to find the yobs.

Footage has also been passed on to police.

The two vehicles are described as a red PGA Hobbit with a green cushion and a basket on the front and a gold Kymco K-Line scooter.

Anyone with information or who witnessed either incident should contact PC John Morgan on 101 quoting references 36/10260/23 and 36/10620/23.
