POLICE have released CCTV images of three people they would like to speak to following a vehicle theft in North Yorkshire.

North Yorkshire Police say the theft happened on Marsh Lane in Beal near Selby between 3pm and 3.15pm on Thursday, June 1.

A police spokesman said: "Three men were seen to arrive in a silver Mitsubishi Shogun with a long wheel base. The suspects removed the security locks from the caravan and attached it to their vehicle.

"The caravan, an Elddis Rambler 19TB, is white with silver on both sides. At the time it was stolen it was displaying the registration plate MX64 VSN.

"The suspects then drove away towards the A645 before making their way south via Kirk Smeaton.

"Officers are asking members of the public to get in touch if they recognise either the people or the vehicle in the images, as they believe they will have information that will help the investigation."
