The vehicle was involved in a fraud in Shepshed where the 88yr old victim was quoted £15 for a couple of loose roof slates and then charged £2,450.00. The vehicle has since been seen around the Kenilworth Road area of Loughborough, no doubt looking for another victim.

On the afternoon of Saturday 6th January, between 1.00pm and 6.00pm, a property on Cliffe Road was burgled. Entry was by smashing a patio door and then jewellery was stolen.
Three people on bikes were seen about 3.00pm, going up driveways and looking into houses, so it’s probably them who are responsible. Unfortunately no-one is able to describe them has they all had hoods up and face coverings.
