A PUB landlord who had his £2,500 jet ski stolen has appealed for anyone who saw the thieves to come forward.

Darren Lucks, landlord of the Foresters Arms pub on Park Road West in Crosland Moor believes someone must have seen the thieves taking the distinctive blue and white Yamaha Waverunner jet ski.

The raiders struck just after 7pm on Saturday, November 24, taking the jet ski out of the pub’s back yard and pulling it on its trailer along several roads before putting it into the back of a van.

Mr Lucks said: “They pulled it down the side of the pub car park into Park Road West and down to Moorside Avenue where they were seen putting it into a white Mercedes van.’’

Anyone with information should contact the police via the main switchboard 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
