Appeal to residents of Attleborough and Thetford in hunt to trace stolen Mercedes

Police are looking for witnesses from Thetford and Attleborough who may be able to help trace a stolen car taken at the start of the month.

Officers are appealing for information after thieves stole a dark blue Mercedes GLC250 from a driveway in Kingfisher Road, Sprowston, on May 3, at around 3am.

Two men, both aged in their 20s and from the Thetford area, have been arrested on suspicion of taking a motor vehicle without consent.

They were taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning and later released on police bail.

Officers believe though that the stolen vehicle may have been parked up somewhere immediately after the theft took place, possibly in the Thetford or Attleborough area. The vehicle may be parked in a local car park or residential street.

The vehicle registration number is AR19 DPY, although the plates may have been changed.

Officers are hoping the public can help them to locate the vehicle in order to assist the investigation and to return it to its owner.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Norfolk Police quoting crime reference 36/29916/24, by emailing liam.burke@norfolk.police.uk or calling 101.
