Police are appealing for witnesses after a grey Nissan Qashqai was stolen from outside a property in Berkeley.
The vehicle was taken from the Berrycroft area after its doors were reportedly tampered with. Police said the theft took place between 10.30am on Tuesday, September 1, and 5.40am on Wednesday, September 2.
The appeal was reported by the Stroud Times in an article updated on September 3, 2026. The source does not say whether the vehicle has since been recovered.
Information sought
Officers are asking anyone who saw the Nissan Qashqai during the relevant period, witnessed anything unusual in the Berrycroft area or has information about the theft to come forward.
Police are also keen to hear from people who may have CCTV or dashcam footage that could assist the investigation. Information can be submitted online using the Gloucestershire Police reporting form. Anyone reporting information is asked to quote occurrence number 53260075770.
The request for information follows reports from local residents who said they had seen a man and a woman acting suspiciously in the area. There are concerns that the pair may have been trying car door handles and stealing items from vehicles.
However, the report does not confirm that either person was involved in the Nissan Qashqai theft. Police are asking for information as part of their investigation.
Police advice to motorists
Officers have reminded motorists that criminals can be quick to exploit opportunities, including vehicles that have been left unlocked.
Residents are being urged to remove valuable items from their vehicles when leaving them overnight. Police also advise motorists to park in well-lit areas where possible.
Anyone with relevant information, CCTV or dashcam footage should use the Gloucestershire Police reporting form and include the occurrence number so that material can be linked to the Berkeley investigation.
