“If you recognise her or you are the woman pictured, please email me at andrew.blackwood@herts.police.uk quoting crime reference 41/74659/24."

He continued: “I would also like to remind motorists of steps they can take to protect themselves from thieves. Firstly, avoid leaving valuables in your vehicles.
