• Loss adjustors are offering a £30,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of thieves who stole £300,000 worth of computer equipment from a UPS truck last month.
Police are appealing for witnesses following the Necking of the truck and its high-value load in Surrey last month.
The incident happened at around 7prn on 12 June in Sunbury. A UPS driver loaded his truck at a warehouse on the Windmill Trading Estate and set off into Windmill Lane towards Staines Road West.
He stopped at a red light at the junction and noticed a blue BMW behind him.
The occupants of the car then got out and forced him out of his truck, before driving the
truck and its load back to a trading estate.
Surrey police say that the UPS truck was later found minus its cargo, which had been unloaded by the hijackers and transferred to another vehicle. The computer equipment has not been recovered.
A UPS spokeswoman says that the company can confirm that one of its vans was hijacked, but cannot provide any further details as an investigation is ongoing.
