POLICE have so far found no trace of a lorry and its £65,000 load of whisky destined for France.
The Daf truck was hijacked from a cafe car park near Dumfries, while on its way front a Scottish distillery to 'Leesport, near Redcar.
As thieves drove the lorry away, they bundled 45-yearold driver John Mitchell into a small Fiat van, finally dumping him at Dunstable in Bedfordshire.
Meanwhile the insurance assessor for shipper Bell Line says it will offer a reward of between c:5,000 and E.10,000 for the arrest and conviction of the gang involved.
