A gang of four men strip a car of its parts in video released by Humberside Police and shown for the first time here. The crime happened outside a kitchen business in Beverley. Jenna Thompson reports.

A GANG of thieves who stripped a car of all its parts have been caught on camera.

These images show the gang of men who stole the car's wheels, full interior, doors and bonnet.

They broke into the car park at Dreamer Bedroom and Kitchen Design in Beverley and completely stripped the car.

Time stamps on the CCTV pictures show the men were in the car park for more than an hour before fleeing in a white van.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "A white Volkswagen Passat Coupé was parked and locked in a secure private business car park when offenders forced entry into the car park.

"Once inside, the offenders steal the wheels from the vehicle and remove the car's full interior as well as its doors and bonnet.

"The group are believed to have used a white van to move the car parts.

"Police are now keen to identify the men on the CCTV and are appealing for the help of the public."

At least four men – who can all be seen wearing gloves – are thought to have been involved in the theft.

CCTV cameras captured them piling up the parts from the car over an hour-long period before loading them into the van.

The wheels can clearly be seen stacked up at the back entrance to the business, near to the car's two front doors and the bonnet.

The car is understood to have been leased to the business in Annie Reid Road by another company and did not belong to an individual member of staff.

The theft happened on July 7, but police have only just released the images.

It is thought the thieves arrived at about 6am.

The last CCTV image shows the van parked next to the business, with the car parts piled next to it, at 7.26am.

The spokesman said: "We are keen to identify the men in the images.

"The thieves appear to have targeted the high-value car and systematically removed specific parts which may then be sold on."

Anyone with information about who the men are or the damage should call Humberside Police on 101, quoting the 1984910.
