‘Stolen’ van was just forgotten

Shortly after 1.26 am the States police appealed to Islanders on social media for information about the vehicle.

They asked people to report any sightings of the left-hand-drive blue Mercedes V220 which had reportedly gone missing from an address near Cheapside.

For around four hours officers kept a look-out for the missing vehicle.

However, the force confirmed that at 5.02 am the man contacted them to say that he had found the van parked and locked up in a nearby street – where he had left it.
