An internet-savvy West Midlands policeman has used his blog to appeal for information relating to a stolen caravan.
The Compass Rallye 650 was taken from a caravan storage park on Solihull Lodge’s High Street between August 31st and September 2nd.
Sergeant Paul O’Reilly is hopeful that his posting will yield information that will lead to the tourer’s return.
He noted that the 26.5 ft twin-axle caravan would have been particularly difficult to manoeuvre in a tight space and suggested that the perpetrators may have had experience of moving such vehicles before.
The policeman also believes that there was more than one person involved in the theft, which saw the criminals bypass three security devices and an active alarm system to escape with the vehicle.
“I am sure you can imagine the delight it would bring the true owners to have their caravan restored to them,” Sergeant O’Reilly said.
In other news, the Seaford Standard has reported that homes in Ruskington have been targeted by burglars who strike when they notice their owners’ caravans are missing from the driveway.
