A STOLEN Ford transit van was found with different number plates eight miles away from where it was taken.

The white van was stolen from the side of the road by the secondary school in Kingstone overnight on March 4.

On March 5 it was found in a car park in Llawarne but with fake registration plates.

Another Ford transit van, stolen from Hereford, had been spotted in the same car park by a resident a few days earlier but had gone by the time police got there.

A third Ford transit van, also displaying stolen plates, was found in the car park of the Axe and Cleaver at Much Birch. The van had been stolen from Malvern.

Report any vehicles parked in unusual places for a few days to 101.
