Men try to steal doors of Land Rover Defender in Bosham

The incident took place last night (Wednesday 17) and the men were said to have threatened the owner of the car.

The men were using a silver Vauxhaull Astra van and police are looking to speak to anyone who sees the same vehicle in 'suspicious circumstances'.

A tweet from Chichester Police said: "Did you seen a silver Astra van in the #Bosham area on Wednesday evening 17/07/19. Males tried to steal doors to a Land Rover Defender and threatened the owner.

"If you see a similar vehicle in Bosham in suspicious circumstances please take the index and let us know #ATeamChi."
