Some of the items stolen from the handbag were later found dumped several houses down the road. “Police will continue to investigate these incidents, and will conduct a forensic examination of the affected properties,” Smith said. He encouraged anyone targeted by thieves to report it to police. Smith said theft from vehicles featured high in Marlborough’s crime statistics, and the victims of such crimes often reported the vehicle was unlocked, and valuable items left within view.
