Police officers have recovered a stolen Land Rover and have launched an appeal for help to find the offenders responsible for the theft.
The vehicle was recovered after being spotted by police officers on patrol in Newark.
The Land Rover was reported to have been stolen at some point between 5pm on Tuesday, April 16 and 9am yesterday (April 17).
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 is forming part of Lincolnshire Police’s 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 it is known 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 to the police.
Once the Land Rover has been forensically examined, the car will be returned to the owners.
Lincolnshire Police is appealing for anyone who may have seen the vehicle being taken, or have doorbell footage or CCTV or dash cam footage which shows the incident, or the vehicle being driven in the area, to get in touch.
If you can help, please email Sarah.Kennedy@lincs.police.uk quoting incident 76 of April 2024.
