CCTV images have been released by police after a sports car was stolen from outside a property in Bournemouth. The blue Audi RS5 was stolen from Littledown Avenue at around 11.10am on Sunday, December 23.

After police made enquiries, it was reported that two men in a black car, believed to be a Ford Focus, had been seen acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the incident.

The stolen Audi was recovered a short time later in Wycombe Road in Bournemouth.

Police Constable Anthony Berry, of Bournemouth police, said he had now obtained CCTV images of the black car and one of the men reported to have been seen acting suspiciously around the time of the theft.

“I appreciate his face cannot be clearly seen but it may be someone recognises the clothing he is wearing, and I am appealing for anyone with information as to this man’s identity or who recognises the vehicle pictured to contact us," he said.
