Gone in six seconds!

A CCTV clip released today shows that it can take as little as six seconds for a car crook to break into a van.

The video shows two men targeting a van, breaking in and stealing the contents, which could be thousands of pounds worth of tools.

The CCTV has been released as part of a campaign to tackle a rise in theft from vans − particularly in Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Sandwell.
