Hi,
I appreciate that the following isn't what's usually posted on the forum but, given the subject, I hope for the indulgence of the mods, and there is MB-related content.
Yesterday, despite being a Tuesday, was a very bad 13th for me.
The van I was driving was stolen while I was at the back getting the stuff out for a client. I know this is a very long shot, but ...
Firstly, I'm trying to find anyone who was on the A13 or A1306 around the junction where they meet (just west of M25 J30 and J31 with those roads) at about 1230 and saw a white MB Sprinter (with red & blue company logos), possibly with the rear doors open and flapping around (that's the way I saw it last ). The van was stolen from the Purfleet Industrial Estate which is right by that A13/A1306 junction and *now* I know several vehicles have been stolen from there recently (even though it's supposed to be more secure than usual, with just one entry/exit road, security, cctv, etc. :roll: ).
Secondly, I appreciate that the van could be pretty much anywhere, especially given the road links from where it was stolen. So, its a MB Sprinter lwb, AY03 MMV, white, with the company logo 'Britsales' and 'not always stationery' :roll: picked out in red and blue.
Also, it appears that the thief arrived with two others in a silver Mini, LM52 JUA - the cctv at least got that, and it leaving behind the van. And I got a good look at the thief, as he drove the van 'round the block to the estate exit while I was able to run straight there.
Any info. you can pm or e-mail me, or 'phone Essex Police on 01245 491491, though I have to say the latter's performance was less than sparkling (despite being made aware that I was happy to do a description, there was cctv footage saved by the security guard and the van had a built-in 'phone, an hour-and-a-half after the incident, "an officer had not been allocated" :roll: ).
Regards,
