Police are looking for information after an attempted car theft in Banstead.
Officers were called to an address in Burgh Wood, 2am on 27 October after a woman was notified by her video doorbell and saw a man outside on the driveway.
The man attempted to get into her car through both the driver and passenger door before the victim opened her window and shouted at him causing him to run away.
An hour later, a similar incident was reported in Epsom where a man matching the same description was seen looking at a car this time in the company of a second man.
The man is described as White and was wearing a flat cap, long jacket with hood and had a backpack.
