CCTV catches Adelaide thieves stealing thousands of dollars' worth of Christmas decorations

Two Christmas thieves have been caught on camera, as they stole thousands of dollars' worth of decorations from homes in Adelaide's southern suburbs.

The vandalism spree stretching to at least three properties, dampening the festive spirit.

CCTV footage obtained by 9 News shows the teenage vandals trying to rip a reindeer from a front yard of an Aldinga Beach home.

They then run into another garden, one of the teens helping herself to candy cane lights, before setting her sights on the string of Christmas lights.

But as she ran away, they snapped.

Owner Rachel said she was woken by the noise.

"I'm just so upset disappointed of the thoughtless act of these girls," she told 9 News.

Another home on Dolphin Boulevard was also targeted by thieves, despite being just 150 metres away from the Police Station.

Police are reviewing the CCTV and investigating whether the thefts are linked.
