Barkingside racing driver Scott Malvern joins appeal for burglary witnesses
A racing driver from Barkingside has joined the appeal for witnesses to a daylight burglary last week.
Racing champion Scott Malvern tweeted to more than 600 followers asking anyone with information to contact the police.
He said a friend, who was a victim of the burglary, asked him to help after the incident last Wednesday (8).
Police said burglars entered the house in Oakleafe Gardens through a rear window and stole two laptops, �300 in cash and €599, a gold ring and three UK passports.
The burglary happened in broad daylight between 8.30am and 12.30pm.
Mr Malvern said: “With amount of stuff they took I’d be surprised if no one saw anything.
“I think a vehicle must’ve been involved to take it away. I know they took a large suitcase.”
