Thieves steal 4x4 from outside Shropshire house
A 4x4 was taken from outside a village home near Ludlow during the night.
Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a green Land Rover Defender 90 disappeared from outside a house on Clee Vantage in Clee Hill. It was taken sometime between 5pm on Tuesday and 4am on Wednesday.
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "The vehicle was parked and secure, but they gained entry somehow. Nothing was left at the scene to indicate the method of entry."
A photo has been released of the stolen vehicle, which is described as having extra lights on the front as well as the distinctive number plate H1 8 MUD.
