The HGV, with curtain sides, was parked in a layby close to the Bowes Moor Hotel when thieves struck between10pm on Wednesday and 6.30am today.

Police said raiders slashed the curtains and took 20 cases each containing 24 330ml cans of Coca Cola, which were part of a load being taken to a company warehouse in East Kilbride.

Anyone who saw the theft take place, anyone offered the cola for sale or anyone with information should call 101 and ask for Barnard Castle Police, quoting reference number DHM 20092012.

I suspect due to financial cutbacks that this rural area, with a low crime rate is treated as a low priority by Durham constabulary and the A66 is left unpatrolled/uncovere
d as is most of Teesdale. A thieves paradise. Makes you wonder, if you live there, why pay the police element of the council tax when you are left to fend for youselves.
