Stolen Land Rover recovered by police

Officers have recovered a stolen Land Rover and are appealing for help to locate those responsible for the theft.

The gold-coloured vehicle was reported to have been stolen at some point between 5pm on 16 April and 9am on 17 April. It was parked on the driveway of a property in High Street North in Ruskington, and windows were smashed to gain entry.

It is unknown at this stage how many people were involved in the theft, and this forming part of our investigation.

Officers from Sleaford Response team were dispatched to the incident, and were able to follow a trail of glass left by the vehicle, which led to Parkfield Road, so they know that it left the location heading in that direction.

The offenders then discarded the vehicle’s number plates shortly after, which were found by a member of the public who reported this the police. 

The vehicle has been recovered thanks to being spotted by police officers on patrol in Newark. Once it has been forensically examined, the car will be returned to the owners.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the vehicle being taken, or have doorbell footage or CCTV or dash cam which show the incident, or the vehicle being driven in the area, to get in touch.
