Appeal for information about a red truck that was used in a burglary

Officers were called to the scene shortly after 8.20 pm on Monday 3 October, after it was reported a red flatbed truck had been used to reverse into the shutters of two units and items were stolen.

Police are appealing to anyone who may have seen the incident or the truck either before or afterwards to make contact.

Residents and businesses are also asked to check CCTV and doorbell camera footage for anything that might be of use.

PC Stephanie Kingston, investigating officer, said: “We are looking to trace the vehicle and identify those responsible for this crime. If anyone was in the area between 8 pm and 9 pm on Monday and saw the truck or anyone acting suspiciously, please contact the police.

“Also, I would urge people to check CCTV and doorbell camera footage as you may have captured something that could be of use to our investigation.”

It's believed the truck was stolen the day before the incident from an address in Nottingham.

The truck has been described as red with orange flashing lights on the roof. On both of the cabin doors is the company name ‘Jefferdson and Sons’.

After leaving the scene the vehicle is believed to have turned left onto Tamworth Road and then right onto Atherstone Road, before heading out of the village.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting crime reference number 22*576316.
