A woman has appealed for help after her partner’s car wheels were stolen and the vehicle was left sitting on bricks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday 17 April, between midnight and 12.20 am the wheels were stolen off of a car directly outside her partners house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Witnesses described seeing two people run away towards Compton Street and Bolehills Road. They were aged roughly 17 to 19 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caitlin Rimmer of Walkley Road, who’s partner Sam Cosh owned the car, said: “Me and my partner both didn’t sleep after the incident as we were afraid they would come back and take either more from the car or come into the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The police haven’t really provided any support. We have definitely done more ourselves than the police have.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caitlin said the police told her they were unable to get fingerprints after the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the absence of police support, Caitlin and her partner Sam have been out putting notes on peoples cars and talking to people, however still only have limited information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caitlin said: “I get that the chances of finding the wheels are very very slim, but the cost to us has been pretty extensive.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theft was carried out using the jack out of the vehicle, however that was left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss Rimmer added: “We were also told that the people who took them had either done it as a very spur of the moment thing or they had been watching us in our house and what times ew went to sleep for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It has made us all quite anxious about people hanging around in the street.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Yorkshire police said: “We were called on 17 April at 12.33am to Walkey Road in Sheffield to reports of a theft from a motor vehicle. It is reported that a car window was broken and alloy wheels were removed from a VW Golf parked on Walkey Road.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone with any information should call the South Yorkshire Police quoting crime number 231704. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
