Call for help on theft of top cars in Pattingham

Police are asking for help in tracing the people who stole three luxury cars and dumped them in the Black Country overnight.

The silver Aston Martin DBS, black Range Rover Vogue and silver Mercedes SLK convertible are likely to have been driven in convoy after they are believed to have been stolen from the Pattingham area.

The Aston Martin was abandoned in Oxford Way, Tipton between 10.48pm and 11.08pm while the Range Rover was discovered dumped in Grenville Street, Smethwick, half an hour later.

The Mercedes was seen in the same area as the Range Rover before being spotted driving near Molineux football stadium shortly after midnight. It was finally abandoned in Yew Street, Chapel Ash shortly after 1am.

Anybody with information about the vehicles or people linked to them is asked to contact police by phoning 101.
