WILTSHIRE Police are appealing for information after around £1,500 of Christmas gifts were stolen from a van in Devizes.

A red Ford Transit van, parked in the Rotherstone Road area, was broken into between November 13 and 15.

The victim had left Christmas presents, including a designer watch, clothing, aftershave and perfume, wrapped and ready to distribute to family and friends.

Damage to the ignition and steering lock suggests that the offenders may have attempted to start the vehicle.

Anyone with information regarding the theft, or the stolen items, is asked to contact Local Crime Investigator, Tim Bennett on 101.
