McLaren and Mercedes taken by masked thieves after Yorkshire home raided
A pair of valuable high performance sports cars were stolen by masked thieves in the dead of night from Hebden near Grassington.
The masked thieves broke into a home between 2.30am and 3am yesterday (Sunday, September 22) and took the keys to a red McLaren 720S and a black Mercedes AMG CLA35. The McLaren can fetch between £124,995 and £139,850.
North Yorkshire Police believe both cars were then driven out of the village and towards the Bradford area, possibly in convoy with a grey Volkswagen Golf on 2014 plates.

A full investigation into the Hanoi-style burglary has been launched. PC Ruth Daley said: “We’re urging anyone with CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage on main routes between Craven and Bradford to report any significant footage from the early hours of yesterday morning that shows these vehicles.
“The McLaren in particular is a very distinctive vehicle, and any sightings or other information could help our investigation. We have conducted extensive enquiries in the area but if you haven’t already spoken to us, please get in touch if you saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area, potentially driving a grey VW Golf, or anyone who saw these cars being driven after 2am yesterday morning.”
