THIEVES made off with two caravans worth £34,000 from a site near Carnforth.

A cream coloured Bailey Gator Wyoming and a white Lunar 2003 were snatched from Redwell Fisheries caravan site, in Arkholme, in the early hours on Monday.

The vans, which had been left on the high security park for the winter, were the newest on the site.

Diane Campbell-Barker, one of the owners of the park, says: "I am gutted because it seems that people can't have anything nice these days without someone coming along and thinking they can take it.

"The owners are rightly angry that they have lost their pride and joy."

She says that to gain entry to the park, thieves had to saw through padlocks, break through a barrier and also take wheel clamps off the 'vans.

Police say the operation was highly organised and urge anyone with information to call 01524-63333 or Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
