Burglar breaks into Rushden home, takes car keys and steals Mercedes

A burglar stole a Mercedes after breaking into a Rushden home and taking the car keys.

Police have launched an investigation and believe the man also attempted several door handles in a nearby road shortly afterwards.

They were called after a burglar broke into a property in Brookfield Road at about 2.30pm on December 14 and stole the keys to a Mercedes before driving it off.

A police spokesman said: “Then, it is believed the same offender who was a white man, aged 18 to 23-years-old, of a slim build and wearing dark clothing, attempted several door handles in Moor Road at about 3pm. Entry was gained to one residential property, however nothing was stolen.
