The family believe 'burnt or scratched' tree marking could be linked to the burglary of three cars a week later
A family noticed a "suspicious" mark on a tree outside their home just days before their cars were stolen by a 'Grand Theft Auto'-style gang of thieves. The family, from Sandwell in the Black Country, has warned others after they woke up to find their driveway empty after thieves took off with their cars.
Speaking after the burglary, one of the sons said he wanted to warn others as he believed the sign could have been used to mark out their home. He said: "We also found a suspicious mark on the tree outside of our house, I don't know if they used that to mark out our house or anything. The family explained that the burglars made 'no noise' as they managed to gain entry into the property. "We realised in the morning when we woken up that all of our cars had gone," one of the brothers said.
"We called 999 immediately, they sent an officer down to our house, he was asking us questions, what happened etc. He looked at CCTV footage, he got forensics down, the burglary team came down."
