A Peterborough woman has been left devastated after “heartless” thieves stole her caravan from outside of her work.

Tracy Munnelly thought her £12,000 tourer would be safe when she parked it outside the Activity World children’s fun centre on Padholme Road East where she works as the general manager.

But on Saturday night (December 3rd) the uninsured Abbey Vogue was taken by thieves who cut through two metal gates using angle grinders before using a saw to cut off the caravan’s wheel clamps, the Peterborough Evening Telegraph reports.

Now, Ms Munnelly and her partner Malcolm Evans are hoping that police can trace their pride and joy which had just been bought this year following years of saving up for it.

“I left it at Activity World because it’s a massive site and I don’t have much room at my home,” she told the newspaper.

“I never envisaged that anything like this would happen and it’s really hit me for six.”

The Caravan Storage Site Owners’ Association recommends that anyone looking for a place to store their caravan chooses a site which has excellent security as it will affect insurance premiums.
