A gang drilled through patio doors to steal keys to a BMW and Mercedes while owners slept upstairs. They targeted a home in North Warwickshire to get their hands on the high performance vehicles.

They reportedly drilled out the door barrels on the patio doors to get inside the house on Main Road in Baxterley. This was all while the owners slept upstairs.

The gang managed to find the keys to a BMW series 1 135 M Sport, Mercedes 220 Estate. They then used them to take the two cars.
