Police are investigating multiple break-ins at businesses in Prospect overnight.
About 2am this morning, patrols were called to a business on Prospect Road after an alarm was activated.
“A patrol saw a silver Ford sedan nearby, and when they attempted to stop the vehicle it sped off along Prospect Road heading south,” SA Police said in a statement today.
“The Ford was briefly pursued but police lost sight of the vehicle on Hackney Road, Gilberton.
“Further investigation found that four other businesses in the vicinity had also been broken into.”
Police say the Ford was also involved in a petrol drive-off at a service station on South Road, Ridleyton soon after the break-ins.
The vehicle is a grey 2005 Ford Falcon sedan (similar to the one pictured), with South Australian registration of XEC916.
Police suspect the break-ins are linked, and say they are following positive lines of enquiry.
Anyone who sees the vehicle is asked to call the Police Assistance Line on 131444.
