A builder will "never buy a new car again" after thieves broke into his house and stole his £36,000 Audi S3 from the driveway.

Lee Todd was five minutes away from home when burglars broke in through his lounge window and
stole the keys to his pride and joy, along with £1,000 in cash and a necklace.

Mr Todd believes the six-month-old car, which had the registration E4 TOD, was stolen to order.

Call Det Con Sedgwick on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800555111 with information.
