A VAN had its entire exhaust system stolen in Ledbury.

The white Mercedes Sprinter was parked on The Homend near the old community hospital when the theft happened between 7pm on Friday and 7am Saturday morning.

It is believed that the van would have to be jacked up in order to steal the part, which will cost around £2,000 to replace.

Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting reference 492-S-110513.
