Appeal for information over mini digger theft in Lichfield

Officers are appealing for information after a mini digger was stolen from a construction site in Lichfield early on Monday (June 7) morning.

We were informed on Monday morning by a construction worker that at some time between 4pm on Friday (4 June) and 6.15am on Monday the vehicle was taken from a locked up area on Holm View Close in Shenstone.

A tracker was fitted to the mini digger and registered movement at about 5.30am that morning, but this lost power at about 6am near to Great Barr Golf Club on Chapel Lane, Walsall.

The mini digger has markings for HD Utilities and HDU9 engraved on it.

Anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious at the time, or who may have CCTV cameras installed that may have caught the theft, is urged to message Staffordshire Police on Facebook or Twitter quoting incident number 134 of 7 June, call 101 or alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
