'Still full' portable loos stolen from racetrack

Owner of Three Counties Toilet Hire said the portable loos were distinctive in their appearance

About 35 portable toilets, some of them full, have been stolen from a racetrack in a theft that has left their owner 'slightly baffled'.

The theft happened on Sunday at Ludlow Autograss Club in Pencombe, Herefordshire.

The units are owned by Three Counties Toilet Hire which said replacing just one would cost about £1,000.

Neil Griffiths who set up the company in 2020 said: "I'm slightly baffled by it.

"The [toilets are] not easy to move about and some of them were still full. So [the thieves] took full toilets."

The loos are said to cost about £1,000 each

Mr Griffiths said whoever took the devices must have done it in four or five trips.

"It's everything else we put inside them as well, like sanitising units... all that is gone..." he added.

Two portable toilets for disabled users were also stolen, at a cost of about £1,500 each.

West Mercia Police said inquires continued.
