Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover Stolen In Solebury; Police Seek Videos

SOLEBURY, PA — A red Mercedes-Benz coupe and a white Land Rover Discovery were stolen in Solebury over the past few days, police said.

The Solebury Township Police Department was called to investigate suspicious activity on Equestrian Drive on Friday, when a resident saw someone open the door to their car in the driveway of their home.

Police took down a report that the person was likely a man wearing a hoodie, pants, and reflective sneakers.

The resident told police that the person fled on foot towards Route 202. On further investigation, police learned the red Mercedes-Benz had been stolen from the same area.

Solebury police began asking residents to check their video surveillance or doorbell cameras for possible video of either incident on Apr. 22 and Apr. 23, and to contact investigators at (215) 297-8201, ext. 117.

Then, another car was stolen.

A resident from the unit block of Woodstream Court off Sugan Road said their 2017 white Land Rover Discovery was taken from their driveway, where it was last seen parked at 8:30 p.m. Sunday night.

Police are also now asking for any video of this incident between Sunday night and early Monday morning.

"The Solebury Township Police Department would also like to stress the importance of locking vehicles to prevent opportunistic thieves," authorities wrote.
