A CCTV image of a man has now been released by police after a sat nav was stolen from a car parked in Letchworth during the early hours of the morning.

Officers are investigating the incident in Oaktree Close, which took place on Sunday, September 1, at approximately 1.45am.

A suspect was captured on CCTV trying to open car doors on the street - the victim's car was accessed, and a sat nav was stolen.
