A WOULD-BE thief was caught in the act after breaking in to a High Wycombe property yesterday.

He ran away after being disturbed in a garage in Telford Way at about 2.55pm. The vehicle parked in the garage had been entered, with a screwdriver found on the driver's seat.

Police describe the offender as a white male aged about 21 years old, of a slim build, about 5'11" tall and with dark coloured hair. He was wearing black tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.

Nothing appears to have been stolen from the vehicle.

A description has also been released of a man believed to have smashed a car window before stealing a satnav on Tuesday morning.

It was stolen at about 8:30am from a Mazda MX5 after the front offside window was smashed while parked in Ryemead Way.

The alleged offender is described as a black male aged in his mid to late 30s, with short hair or shaved head. He was wearing dark coloured jeans and a black coloured fleece jacket.

The following crimes were also reported to Thames Valley Police yesterday.

Between 2pm on Sunday 7 and 1:10pm on Monday 8, offenders attempted to gain entry to a red coloured Rover vehicle while parked in Harris Road, Lane End, by removing the rubber seal from around the passenger window, then trying to lever the door open. No entry was gained and nothing stolen.

Between 2:45pm and 3:15pm on Monday 8, offenders gained entry to a Green Land Rover Freelander vehicle while parked in Coronation Road, Cressex Business Park, by smashing the front offside window, and stole a bag containing cash.
