Driver crashes suspected stolen Audi into Bedfordshire farmland
Police are searching for the driver of an Audi that crashed into farmland with livestock in Bedfordshire.
The incident happened in Ampthill on Sunday (24 June), with the driver causing damage and then fleeing the scene.
The police tweeted photos of the landowner using a Manitou telehandler to remove the car, which is believed to have been stolen.
BCH Road Policing tweeted: "If you are going to crash into a farmers field with livestock and cause damage then run from the scene over night leaving the field insecure do not expect your vehicle to be recovered with too much care!"
Enquiries are on-going to trace the driver, with witnesses and appeals urged to contact 101 with case number 400747/400024.
Social media users reacted to the news of the incident.
You might laugh but I have a farmer friend who ended up with a bill for £6500 plus court costs for doing the very same thing. I’d be very careful.....
