Six high-performance cars have been stolen from a car dealership in North Yorkshire.

A black Audi Q7, purple Mercedes Benz C Class and a black BMW 5 Series were among those taken.
One of the cars, a blue Ford Focus, was later found abandoned after crashing at an A1(M) service station.
North Yorkshire Police said the burglary happened at the business on Gatherley Road between 12:40 and 01:15 GMT.
The stolen cars were driven towards Darlington and continued into Cumbria, the force said, with the abandoned Ford found at Moto Barton Park.
Anyone with information was asked to contact police.
