A spokesman for Staffordshire Police Roads Policing Unit said: "Another job this week highlighting the importance of having a tracker fitted.

"This van was stolen whilst the delivery driver left the van running in Great Wyrley. We located it within an hour of it being stolen. Do not make it easy for these thieves."
