Gang steals four trucks with high-value
loads. Jennifer Ball reports.
POLICE ARE HUNTING a gang who broke into a haulage yard in Sandbach before making off with £800,000 worth of vehicles and their loads.
Four trucks containing Mars confectionery, wine, Budweiser and Carlsberg beer were stolen from Pollock (Scotrans) in Lodge Road between 3pm last Saturday (7 August) and 7.22am the following morning. The vehicles have all been recovered locally but their loads are still missing.
Police believe it was a carefully planned raid and are trying to discover why the CCTV system and alarm did not function properly.
A Cheshire police spokesman says: "We would like to hear from anyone who saw any of the offenders or the vehicles in Merseyside, Greater Manchester or being driven away from Sandbach."
Pollock (Scotrans) declined to comment.
• Contact: Congleton CID on 01244 6135353 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
• Police are hunting for thieves who stole three trucks belonging to Owens Road Services containing £500,000 of copper from a lay-by in Ludlow, Shropshire. The Llanelli-based firm is offering a £10,000 reward for the return of the cargo and information leading to the conviction of the offenders.
