A third took incident took place in Severn Road about 25 minutes later at about 4.10am.
CCTV captured a black Mercedes AMG being stolen from a driveway.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said officers believe the incidents may be linked.
PC Donna Jackson said: “We urge people to ensure they keep their vehicles locked. If your vehicle has an electronic key do not keep it near your front door or windows as criminals can scan it and transmit the code to open the car and start it.
“We also recommend using a Faraday Pouch or and Radio Frequency Identification blocker to block the signal whilst your keys are indoors if you are able to.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Suffolk police quoting crime reference numbers 37/17143/24 for the red car, 37/17126/24 for the white car and 37/17161/24 for the black car.
