A desperate plea has been issued to return a stolen Land Rover from Isleham to its owners.

The vehicle was taken from the drive of a house in Sun Street between 7.40pm and 11pm on September 21.

In a post on Policing East Cambridgeshire, a woman commented: "I really hope we can find her as we have a very sad 19-year-old who saved up since he was four for his very own Landy.

"She was all locked up and on our drive and someone just took her just like that."

The Land Rover Defender is red and has the number plate JI04 GDS.
