A MAN has been arrested after a car was stolen from a Wimborne car park – but the vehicle has not been found.

Dorset Police officers investigating the theft are appealing for information regarding the whereabouts of a silver Volvo, stolen from the High Street car park at around 10.15am on Monday, August 14.

A 32-year-old man from Fordingbridge has been arrested and released on police bail.

Officers are keen to find the vehicle and return it to its owner.

The vehicle is a silver Volvo 940 estate with black wing mirrors, a tow bar, and RSPB stickers in the window.

PC Kate Schofield, of the Dorset Rural Crime Team, said: “This has been a particularly distressing and inconvenient time for the victim, who has lost the use of their day-to-day vehicle.

“We carried out a number of enquiries in relation to this incident which led to a man being arrested. However, I am still keen to find the vehicle and return it to its owner.

“I would like to hear from witnesses or anyone with information that might assist us with our investigation. I also make a similar plea to any members of the public who may have seen a vehicle matching this description being sold in suspicious circumstances to please come forward.”
