11/12/2009 - Police recover stolen trailers
Police have recovered three of the four trailers stolen in a raid on a warehouse in Magna Park, Leicestershire.
According to a police spokesman, robbers brought four white tractor units with them and drove the lorry trailers filled with Moet et Chandon champagne, Red Bull and wine out of the Lutterworth warehouse within 15 minutes on November 28.
Police, who found three trailers, said the robbers had succeeded in clearing the loads from the curtain-sided trailers.
Two trailers were found in lay-bys on the A423 near Southam, Warwickshire, while the third was recovered from the driveway of Kingsbury Rifle Range, near Marston, Warwickshire. Police are trying to find the fourth trailer.
A spokesman said that each of the trailers was painted dark blue and sported the livery "Cert Octavian". But the robbers had tried to paint over the livery and to unpick it.
The value of the heist is estimated to be at £343,000.
