A CAR momentarily left to de-ice on a driveway in Chalgrove has been stolen.

On Wednesday at about 10am a Ford Focus was pinched from Argosy Close.

The vehicle had been left momentarily by the owner while he was de-icing it.

On the same day a man attempted to steal two cars in Wheatley, the first attempt happened around 9.15am and the second at 3pm.

Police received reports that a dark coloured Fiat estate was in the Wheatley area on Wednesday morning.

Residents have been advised to not leave their vehicles unattended with the keys in the ignition while de-icing.
