Police appeal after Saffron Housing and Gator Utility vans stolen in Long Stratton

An appeal has been launched following a pair of two vehicle thefts from Long Stratton.

The first happened between 4pm and 8.30pm on March 20, when a site in Chequers Road was forcibly entered.

A white and blue Ford Transit van with ‘Saffron Housing’ details on the front and side of the vehicle was stolen.

A fence in Ipswich Road was broken into and two Gator Utility vehicles were stolen.
