POLICE investigating a “two-in-one” raid in Northallerton have issued a photo of the vehicle stolen in the incident as part of their appeal for information.

The grey VW Golf Gti was taken from a house on Thirsk Road after thieves broke in and stole a handbag and the car keys.

The raid took place overnight on January 30 and 31 and detectives believe the suspects may have travelled to the Manchester or Liverpool area in the car.
