An investigation is underway after two cars were stolen from driveways in the Bushey area within hours of each other.

Police are asking for information after a white Land Rover Discovery was taken from outside a property in Caldecote Gardens between 8pm on Saturday, October 5 and 3am the next day.

Anyone with information has been asked to contact police and quote the crime reference number 41/83490/24.

Officers are "keeping an open mind" over whether the theft is linked to a similar incident that night which saw a grey Land Rover Discovery stolen from a driveway in Gleed Avenue.

Anyone with information should contact police and quote the crime reference number 41/83492/24.

It comes after Hertsmere Police revealed that nine vehicles have been stolen from the Bushey, Aldenham and Borehamwood areas in the first week of October alone.

Many of these thefts were as a result of keyless entry, with police advising car owners to use a signal blocking pouch to protect their vehicles.
