CCTV images released after caravan theft

Police have released CCTV images after thieves broke into a storage yard in Ripley and stole a caravan.

At around 9.40pm on Saturday, April 16, thieves cut thick wire fencing at a yard on High Holborn Road, removed the locks from a caravan and hitched it to a 4x4 before driving away towards Alfreton.

Police believe they may have driven off along the A610 towards Eastwood.

The caravan is a cream Elddis Crusader and the 4x4 used to tow it is a dark, double cab flat bed with grey or silver wheel trims. Another dark 4x4 appears to drive in convoy behind the stolen caravan.

Anyone with information should call PC Patricia Hart on 101, quoting crime reference number 16729/16.
