CCTV footage shows the "scary" moment a person breaks into a car and steals items from inside the vehicle.

Gymwear, perfume and money were among the haul taken from the unlocked car, parked on Nailsworth Close in Blackpole, on Saturday (September 24).

In the video, a person can be seen rummaging through the boot of a car, and Ring Doorbell footage shows the individual walking with a second person away from the scene.

The owner of the car, who wished to remain anonymous, shared how "scary" the situation has been.

They said: "I live on my own with my 16-year-old son so this is really stressful when it happens and very scary.

"I didn’t realise how much he had taken until throughout the day when I started realising just how much was gone."

The car was accidentally left unlocked, allowing the thief to gain access to the vehicle and steal a variety of items.

The owner of the car said: "I got home at 10.40pm, emptied my car and my son came home at 11pm.

"Unfortunately, the car was not locked until 11.05pm, but he had already been through my car by this point.

"He was stealing from the car between 10.50pm and 10.58pm."

A variety of gym clothing, perfume and some money was all stolen during the theft.

The items stolen included:

  • Tiffany perfume
  • David Lloyds gym bag
  • Nike leggings
  • Nike top
  • Adidas blue sweatshirt with Adidas in bold on the back
  • Adidas tee
  • Black Nike trainers
  • David Lloyd towels
  • David Lloyd drinks bottle
  • Cash 
  • Rayban sunglasses

Despite the difficult situation, the owner of the car is remaining positive.

They said: "Things can be replaced but it’s the worry and stress it causes the victims.

"Thankfully, my son and I are fine and the things stolen can be replaced."
