Police appeal for witnesses and information after lorry is targeted at night

Officers are appealing for witnesses of suspicious behaviour around lorries and trucks following a theft in Tewkesbury yesterday (Wednesday 29 June).

It has been reported that a lorry driver was asleep in his vehicle at Ashchurch when he was woken at around 1.30am by four men who threatened him.

The unknown offenders have then broken into the rear of the lorry and stole the contents. They then left in a silver Audi A6.

Investigating officers are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward. 

They are also keen to hear from anyone who has seen people acting suspiciously, in particularly around curtain sided lorries which are often parked in lay-bys at night.
