DRINKERS at a pub in Kempsey are being asked if they saw a stolen pick-up truck being driven shortly before it was found burnt out.

Police want anyone who saw the dark grey Mazda while they were sat outside the Huntsman over the weekend to contact them.

The vehicle, registration FM57CFU, was stolen from an address in Worcester Road, Malvern, overnight between 7pm and 9.30am on Sunday.

It was later found burnt out in Fox Lane, Green Street, near Kempsey, and appeared to have damage to the front driver's side from a possible crash.

A police spokeswoman said: "We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen this vehicle being driven between the two locations.

"We know it passed a number of people outside the Huntsman pub in Green Street but would like to hear from anyone with information."
