Police are appealing for witnesses and information as part of continued enquiries into the theft of a community minibus in St Albans.

The incident occurred at around 4.30pm on Tuesday 10 January, from the Cotlandswick Leisure Centre car park.

It is reported that access was gained to a blue Peugeot minibus before it was then driven out of the car park and left towards the A414.

PC Katie McLoughlin, who is investigating, said: “We are releasing these images as part of our ongoing enquiries to help trace this vehicle.

“This minibus is an integral part of the local community and is used by many groups who support individuals with disabilities and other specific needs. The theft of this vehicle has had a hugely negative impact on the staff who run these groups and those who attend them.

“I am appealing for anyone with any further information, or anyone who was in the area at this time and may have seen something, to please contact me. If you recognise the vehicle, which has several distinctive stickers placed on it, I’d like to hear from you. Anyone with information can contact me via email at katie.mcloughlin@herts.police.uk.”
