Stolen coal truck used in ram-raid

Footage has emerged showing the moment a stolen coal truck was used in a ram-raid.

The truck, which was stolen from a workers yard in Medway Street, Radford, Nottingham, was used to smash into a business more than 20 miles away in Measham, Leicestershire.

The vehicle belonged to Stephen Brierley, who has delivered coal for more than 40 years.

Mr Brierley - who delivers coal to 70 to 80 homes a week - said he parked up in the yard and went to grab a coffee and returned 15 minutes later to find the flatbed truck was gone.

Nottinghamshire Police and Leicestershire Police are investigating.
