Thieves have made off with a caravan last weekend after breaking into a storage facility in Derbyshire, according to a local newspaper report.
The burglars climbed a security fence at a Somercotes compound on Cotes Park Lane and made off with the tourer on Sunday (19 January) evening, the Ripley and Heanor News reports.
CCTV captured two men entering the site at 5:20pm before opening the gate for a third man who drove in with a 4×4 vehicle, complete with oversized wheels, spotlights and bull bars.
The caravan was secured with a wheel clamp but this was removed with bolt cutters before the thieves made off the with the vehicle.
It is a further warning to caravan owners to be on their guard when parking up their vehicle or leaving it in a compound. They can become attractive propositions for any would-be burglar.
Police in Derbyshire are now appealing to anyone with information to contact the force on the 101 helpline.
