Gang stole £800,000 worth of Range Rovers in terrifying crime spree targeting leafy villages
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA gang stole Range Rovers worth £800,000 during a month long crime spree targeting leafy villages. Some drivers had their cars stolen just minutes after parking up and thinking they'd left the vehicles secure.
But the thieves used sophisticated technology including signal jammers to allow them to drive off with the expensive cars, worth between £65,000 and £100,000.
The gang struck ten times in almost a month, mainly in leafy villages including Alderley Edge and Hale Barns, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Some were stolen from supermarket car parks including Booths and Waitrose, in town centres or from driveways. One man had driven to Hale to collect his prescription in his £80,000 Range Rover, only to return five minutes later to find two men in his car.
