A caravan that only had three wheels has mysteriously vanished from a layby near Scarborough.

Its owner was towing the caravan when he noticed it had a puncture, so pulled over and left it parked in the layby while he went to get the rogue tyre repaired.

Returning just 20 minutes later, the man found to his astonishment that the caravan had been stolen, the Scarborough Evening News reported.

The off-white single-axle Ace Jubilee Viceroy tourer has vanished without leaving a trace and has left authorities baffled as to how it could have been towed away with one wheel missing.

Police have appealed for anyone who may have information surrounding its theft to get in touch as they seek to solve the mystery.

Anyone who thinks they may have seen the caravan, which disappeared at around 6.30pm on Tuesday (October 25th), is asked to contact Scarborough Police on 0845 606 0247.
