• Police have found two artic trailers laden with £250,000 worth of wine and spirits, stolen in a raid on the Dewsbury depot of express parcels firm Carryfast.
The trailers were found intact in London, but their tractive units are still missing. The rigs — one with a Carryfast livery, the other with the liver? of sister company Haulfast — were driven away by four masked men from the firm's depot on Mill East Street a week last Sunday.
Jeremy Bowden, general manager of Carryfast, says a guard was bound and gagged by the raiders; he was later freed by workers arriving for the early shift. Security at the depot has been stepped up: "We are in an extremely vulnerable industry but we will make sure this will not happen again," says Bowden. Anyone with information on the missing cabs should contact Dewsbury police on (0924) 466181.
