Two cars seized by police after stolen motor smashed into a fence at a house near Lutterworth

Two cars have been seized by police after a stolen motor smashed into a fence at a house in a village near Lutterworth.

The Nissan Juke ploughed into the fence at the property on Lutterworth Road, Ullesthorpe, just after 12.30pm on Saturday (November 7).

The driver and everyone else in the car leapt out and fled the scene, Leicestershire Police said after officers attended.

“It was subsequently established the car had been stolen from Warwickshire.

“As a result of further enquiries another car, a Skoda Fabia, was also found abandoned and recovered,” said police.

“No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.”

The incident comes just three days after three other cars were seized by police in a bizarre chain of events in the Lutterworth area.

The incident was sparked when officers spotted a red van being driven “erratically” in Lutterworth town centre last Wednesday (November 4).

The van driver was chased by police after failing to stop.

The vehicle suddenly stopped near Ullesthorpe and the occupants jumped out and made off.

The van was seized by police.

Officers were carrying out enquiries at the spot when a black Audi saloon car drove past them before stopping.

The people in the car again got out and ran away.

“That vehicle has been confirmed as stolen and therefore seized,” said Leicestershire Police.

In a final twist in the drama, a silver Citroen people carrier was also discovered parked at the same location near Ullesthorpe.

Police checked it out – and quickly found it was carrying false number plates.

“That was also therefore seized,” said police.
