In a separate incident, a woman fears for her family’s safety after she saw two people trying to open cars on her road after midnight.

Police were called to reports that people were looking at cars parked on and near Crossmead in Watford in the early hours of Wednesday, June 28.

Officers confirmed they were called at around 12.50am and said that “no attempts were made to enter the cars, and no crimes have been recorded”.

But the woman said: “They went down the whole road trying to open each car. It was shocking when we watched the footage back.”
