Stolen Ford Transit tipper found by police in Preston after being taken in February

A van stolen from Preston in February has been found by police.

Lancashire Police's South Rural Task Force found the Ford Transit tipper earlier today despite the £18,500 vehicle having cloned plates and paperwork.

A spokesman for the task force said: "The vehicle had been extensively altered in an attempt to hide the true identity."

The Transit has been recovered by detectives and will be returned to its owner.
