Two cars were driven away from outside their owners’ home in a ‘2-in-1’ burglary.
They were taken after thieves broke into a house on St Marys, off Bootham, on Thursday evening (1 April) and took the car keys.
A dark blue Audi A6, a blue Toyota Yaris and a green Canyon mountain bike were stolen.
The Audi was discovered the next day (Friday 2 April), at about 9am on Garfield Terrace off Leeman Road.
Two men exited the car and ran off.
The Toyota was also recovered later, on Evelyn Terrace. Both vehicles had sustained damage. The bicycle was found on Marygate.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
“We are appealing for information about the occupants of the cars and the routes they had taken, and any CCTV footage that may have covered the incident.”
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact the police – full details below.
