An investigation has been launched
A police investigation has been launched after a fire truck was stolen from a Nottinghamshire station. A security lock was cut and a flatbed fire truck was stolen after the keys were located inside Tuxford Fire Station, in Clark Lane, Tuxford, during a break-in.
Officers were first called to the incident in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire at around 1.15am on Tuesday, August 1. Work to trace the stolen vehicle is ongoing. Inspector Hayley Crawford, of Nottinghamshire Police, urged anyone who sees the vehicle to come forward. She said: “To gain entry to a fire station and then steal a vehicle is completely unacceptable behaviour.
“We’re working to make sure whoever did this is held to account and I would urge any residents who saw suspicious activity around Tuxford Fire Station in the early hours of Tuesday, or who might have CCTV or dash cam footage, to get in touch.” Group manager Chris Emmott, of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, added: “In the early hours of yesterday morning, we were informed of a break-in at Tuxford Fire Station, where a service van, amongst other things inside the vehicle, were stolen.
“Thank you to those who have already provided information to help us in this investigation. If you do have any further information then please contact Nottinghamshire Police.” Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 95 of August 1, 2023.
