Hermes van stolen in Milton Keynes on Christmas Eve as driver was making deliveries

Police said they received a report of a theft of a motor vehicle from Church Hill, Two Mile Ash, at around 3.25pm on Christmas Eve.

Officers said an investigation was carried out and it has been filed pending further information coming to light.

One resident from Church Hill said neighbours have checked their doorbell's camera footage but only captured someone with a hood up.

The resident said: "It was a plain white van, so the poor driver was probably self employed. He left it open with keys in while delivering to someone. It was taken in a flash."

The woman also added that she has had problems getting a refund from Hermes since the incident, as the tracking information on her parcels say the items are still out for delivery.

Hermes has been contacted for comment.

If anyone has any information about the incident they can contact police by calling 101 or making a report online quoting reference 43200438647.
