Two homes in a Rush Green street were burgled in the same night as their owners slept.
Now police are appealing for help catching the thieves, who made off with a car and some electronics.
After hearing a noise at his home in Meadow Road in the early hours of Monday last week one victim wandered downstairs to find mobile phones, a laptop, camera and car had been taken.
A handbag and its contents was taken from one of the homes, but later found discarded in the street.
The Met has asked anyone with information to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting reference number 5413387/14.
