Police are on the hunt for thieves who drove a black Audi erratically along the streets of Coulsdon after a burglary.

They burgled a home in Windermere Road before fleeing in the car, the rear window of which was smashed.

Detectives want to speak to anyone who saw the vehicle in the area at about 11am on October 8.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Sheree Yates said: "I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Windermere Road, Purley Way, Mitcham Road and Croydon Road.

“Any information may assist police to trace these suspects and I would urge the public to call if they can help”.

Witnesses have reported seeing the vehicle driving extremely erratically both leaving Windermere Road and later on at the junction of Mitcham Road and Croydon Road.

Anyone with any information is asked to call D Con Yates at Croydon police’s CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
