Woman snaps suspected Bournemouth thief sitting in her car

The woman snapped this photo of a man as he sat in her stolen car

A woman confronted a suspected thief and took his photo while he sat in her car he had just stolen.

She spotted two men parked in her silver Ford Fiesta just two streets from where it was stolen in Lowther Road, Bournemouth, following a house burglary the night before.

The woman confronted them and managed to get a photo of one before they ran off along Portchester Road.

Dorset Police is appealing for anyone who recognises the man to come forward.

The woman had left her car parked outside a friend's house while they were on a night out on 1 September.

The car's key was stolen, along with an iPad and iPhone, during the burglary, said police, who have just released the image.
