Issued by North Yorkshire Police

A £500 reward is being offered following the theft of a Mini in York which contained luggage, clothing, personal items and art equipment.

The metallic grey Mini Cooper was stolen from the driveway of the victim’s home in Dringhouses, as he prepared to leave for a holiday at around 2.30pm on Good Friday, 29 March 2013.

The car was later recovered in Darwin Close, Huntington, York, and has now been returned to the owner. However, the personal belongings have not been found.

The owner is now offering a cash reward of £500 to anyone who has any information that will lead to the arrest and charge of the people responsible.

Also stolen was an Apple Mac lap-top computer in a black nylon case and electronic accessories, a briefcase in black nylon and many other belongings of a personal nature.

“I’m appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the metallic grey Mini Cooper being unloaded over the Easter weekend, or has any information about the theft or the current whereabouts of the stolen belongings, including the art equipment, to contact York CID without delay.

The stolen items include

  • A large white holdall with the name Schnieders Team in green lettering on the side with purple and red trim containing clothing and bedding
