Thief steals £6,000 of office supplies

Released 25/08/2010

A thief drove a lorry into Chrisbeon Office Supplies on Stafford Park 4, Telford, and loaded the two skips of office supplies worth £6,000

Bosses at the office supplies business stepped up their security but one week later the man returned with the same lorry and took a second skip which was chained up. He cut the chain and loaded the skip.

The thefts from the back of the premises were captured on CCTV which police are now examining. The eight-axle lorry used to take the skips on both occasions had a white cab with a large red hook on the back and had a pink trailer.

Richard Hughes, partner at Chrisbeon Office Supplies, said the thefts had caused a ‘huge inconvenience' to the company and had forced them to ‘step-up' their security.
