Appeal for information following theft of caravan in West Dorset
Officers investigating the theft of a caravan in West Dorset are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
Dorset Police received a report at 6.42pm on Monday 30 January 2023 relating to the theft of a caravan from an address in the area of Fernhill near Charmouth.
It was reported that at around 6.20pm the white and grey Hobby 645 VIP caravan had been stolen from a field where it was being stored. It was believed to have been towed away by a dark-coloured Mitsubishi SUV and travelled in the direction of Bridport, before heading from the Crown Roundabout towards Burton Bradstock on the B3157 Coast Road.
The victim subsequently located the caravan in a field in the Abbotsbury area and the Mitsubishi that had been towing it made off from the scene, leaving the caravan behind.
Police Constable Dan Goswell, of Dorset Police, said: “We are continuing to investigate this incident and I am keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the caravan travelling from the Charmouth area to the Abbotsbury area on the evening of Monday 30 January 2023.
“I would also urge motorists with dashcam who were driving in the vicinity, or homes and businesses along the route with CCTV systems, to review their footage for anything that might assist our enquiries.”
