Car 'Stolen' And Crashed Near Cowes

A car is alleged to have been stolen and crashed in Gurnard, near Cowes, today (Saturday).

The black Ford Focus ST was believed to have been taken from Woodvale Road at around 8am this morning.

The owner of the vehicle was speaking to a customer about a work job.

The car was found a short time later, crashed into a lamp post, further down the road.

Speaking exclusively to Isle of Wight Radio, the vehicle's owner, said:

"I was only in the property for a matter of minutes. When I came out, the car had gone.

"It was found a short time later, crashed into a lamp post. It can't have been the handbrake, because the road isn't straight and has corners.

"I don't know why anyone would do this."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
