Three stolen mopeds were recovered after a watchful member of the public tipped off the police yesterday.
Officers found the stolen mopeds at a house in Bloomsbury Close yesterday (Wednesday, August 3) as part of a crackdown on moped-enabled crime in Epsom and Ewell.
The suspected thieves were not at home, but Surrey Police officers left behind a helpful note.

It read: “We came, but you weren’t in. (sad face)
“Maybe next time we can spend some time together – we’ll even give you a bed for the night.”
Surrey Police this week appealed for residents to provide them with more “specific” information about a spate of moped-enabled crimes as the force’s investigations in the borough “step up a gear”.

Useful evidence includes footage from CCTV, mobile phones or cameras, registration numbers and specific descriptions of suspects.
The force continues to work alongside the Metropolitan Police to explore the possibility of moped-riding criminals are travelling into the borough from London, a spokeswoman told the Epsom Guardian.
To offer information, call Surrey Police on 101, and quote reference number P17194953.
