A pair spotted by CCTV have been added to the search for Davis’ stolen caravan

Cambridgeshire police have identified two ‘witnesses’ whom they believe could be instrumental in locating Warwick Davis’ Swift caravan, which was stolen last week.

Star Wars actor Davis’ Swift Cranfield was stolen on the evening of 8 October between 9pm and 9:30pm from Short Drove in Holme, as previously reported here by CaravanTimes.

Police have now released an image of two men that are connected to the theft, highlighting that the pair were not suspects but rather witnesses, saying: ‘They are helping with the investigation.’

PC Mat Belfitt said: “Many appeals have been made on social media using #FindWarwicksCaravan please do help spread the word and call us on 101 if you have any information. I am particularly keen to speak to two men in the CCTV image as I believe they may have important information which could assist our investigation.

“Warwick and his family have been left really upset by the theft as their caravan contained a lot of sentimental items,” Belfitt concluded.

Following the theft, Davis took to twitter to express his frustration, telling his 534,000 followers: ‘My touring caravan was stolen in Cambridgeshire last night even though it was locked up with hitch & wheel lock! I want to swear. #rotters.’

Afterwards, the actor who also starred in several Harry Potter films as Charms professor Flitwick, enlisted the help of his followers and friends as well the Cambridgeshire police.

The actor has since pleaded with the unknown thief by tweeting: ‘If you stole our caravan or know who did, please can we have the sentimental items back that are of no use to you? Special holiday memories.’

Many have responded to Davis’ tweets by offering up any information that may be of use, but some have found humour in the situation as well.

One twitter user posted a photo of a miniature caravan with the caption, ‘New security photo released of the theft!’

In response, Davis said: “Not funny. but they didn’t steal my sense of humour so I’ll give you that one. Nicely played!”

The actor will be appearing in the seventh installment in the Star Wars series, The Force Awakens, later this year.

At the time of writing, Davis’ caravan has still not been recovered. If you or anyone you know has any information, contact Cambridgeshire police.
