A MILK TRUCK was stolen last week by a young couple in what police think was a late-night drunken prank. The rule about not leaving your keys in the cab was underlined for the milk delivery man when his Grahams' Dairies Oaf 7.5-tanner was taken at 4am in Kilmarnock while he made a drop.

Police say CCTV footage shows an apparently drunk couple jumping in the truck and driving off, with the driver making an desperate effort to get back in as they drove away.

PC Kevin MacGuire, says: "It looks as if they have had a few drinks and the guy seems to be egging the girl on, but it does show pretty clearly that you really shouldn't leave your keys in the cab."

The truck was found at the bottom of a railway embankment three miles away near the village of Hurlford—MacGuire says: "My suspicion is that the people who took the truck are not the same ones who crashed it."

Police are using the CCTV images to try to trace the thieves.
