Warning to drivers after vehicle is stolen during West Bromwich Albion game
Police have issued a warning to football fans to make sure they park their vehicles in safe and well lit areas during the evening after a Nissan Navara pick up truck was taken during a West Bromwich Albion game.
The vehicle was taken from Park Lane Industrial Estate, West Bromwich, close to the Hawthorns on Friday night, January 16 when the owner was in the stadium watching the game against Middlesbrough.
The owner - who didn't want to be named - contacted the Express & Star to say the truck had been taken along with football related items in the back worth £150 including cones, balls and a portable goal net.
He said it would affect the running of a youth football team based in Rushall and also stop him from getting to work in Somerset, where he is a contractor.
Police are appealing for information and said: "We are investigating after a vehicle was stolen from Park Lane Industrial estate, West Bromwich on the evening of 16 Jan.
"We take this type of crime extremely seriously as we don't underestimate the impact it has on vehicle owners.
"Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 quoting 20/116029/26.
"Where possible we’d advise drivers to park in safe and well-lit areas, following the latest safe parking advice on our website."
