Car thieves raced a van though Borehamwood and had an accident after stealing it from a showroom in Aycliffe Road on Wednesday last week.

A D-registration Mitsubishi van was stolen from Four-Double-Four Motors in Aycliffe Road during the early afternoon.

Two men walked into the showroom, took the keys and drove the van away. The garage realised it had been stolen at around 5pm.

At 4.26pm the van was involved in a collision with another vehicle near Arundel Drive. The van was abandoned in Torworth Road, and found at 5.25pm.
