Thieves attempt to steal motorhome from storage facility

Thieves have managed to avoid police after being caught on CCTV trying to steal two high-end motorhome from a ‘secure’ storage facility in County Durham.

It happened at the Kinnersley Camper Van Storage in Hartlepool at 1am on April 24.

Detectives are now investigating and have urged anyone with information to call 101.
