Police are still stumped by the theft of nearly $35,000 from four Eastern Counties Cricket Association clubs two years ago.

A police spokesman said: “While the case is not closed, we have made very little headway as no one to date has come forward with meaningful information and the CCTV footage on the night was not very useful in the investigation.”

The money was stolen from an unlocked and unattended car parked near St David’s Primary School in June 2015.

The $34,700 represented takings from cash ticket sales for a three-match series played in St David’s. But Steven Douglas, president of the Eastern Counties Cricket Association, said the clubs involved — St David’s County Cricket Club, Cleveland County Cricket Club, Bailey’s Bay Cricket Club and Flatts Victoria Recreation Club — were later reimbursed from association funds.

Mr Douglas added that extra security measures had been taken in a bid to avoid future thefts.

He said: “The police are the experts, and if they can’t find anything, then there is no way I can find anything. We have taken our lead from them and, as they are doing, we are looking out to see if anything pops up in any way, shape or form.

“The clubs were taken care of from within so they are not hard done by from that perspective. Everyone is happy with what they got thus far.”

Mr Douglas added: “We have made necessary changes and adjustments so it works in the best interests of everyone going forward. The key players that handle it fully understand how we go about it. With the help of security we have done the best that we can to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”

Anyone with information on the theft should contact police.
