CCTV footage of Red Bull trophy theft released
CCTV footage of thieves breaking into Red Bull's Milton Keynes headquarters with a 4x4 and stealing trophies has been released by police ahead of another police appeal for information.
Over 60 trophies were stolen in the early hours of December 6 when a silver 4x4 was driven through the entrance doors to the building where the trophies were kept. Ten days later "about 20 trophies" were recovered from a lake in Sandhurst but the search for the remaining items and the burglars is ongoing.
The footage shows the moment the vehicle crashed through the door, before masked raiders start taking trophies from the cabinet, one of which is carelessly tossed to the floor. The footage is set to be used on BBC's Crimewatch programme on Wednesday as Thames Valley Police makes another appeal for information. On a preview, Red Bull boss Christian Horner calls it a "pointless crime" and adds that, though the monetary of the trophies is minimal, "the emotional value is huge."
Thames Valley Police have asked that anyone with any information about the burglary, or who finds a trophy near the Sandhurst area, to contact them on 101. The video, viewable below, was posted online by the Press Association.
