Horror ride through streets of Adelaide Terrified couple trapped in caravan as thief steals rig
AN ADELAIDE couple was recovering after a brazen thief made off with their caravan ... while they were still inside. They were collecting their $40,000 Concept Ascot 'van from Northland Caravans in Main North Road, Blair Athol, and were checking out the interior when the crook jumped into their vehicle, which still had the keys in the ignition, and drove off. The terrified Riverland couple, who are in their sixties, were thrown around as the rig careered through the streets, but the thief abandoned his spree three streets away and ran off. The couple and salesman were shocked but unhurt. A police spokesman said: "The sales manager managed to jump from the caravan as it was driven away. The suspect then crashed into another car that was parked in Enfield Avenue and drove away from the scene at speed, over kerbs, with the terrified couple still in the caravan.
He is described as of Caucasian appearance with a tanned complexion, 172cm tall, aged in his late 20s, athletic build, with short black hair. He wore a red t-shirt. A red t-shirt was found in the front garden of a house in Airlie Avenue and could be linked to the suspect, police said. They are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.sa.crimestoppers.com.au. BACK TO CARAVANNING NEWS MAIN PAGE

"The victims were left
shaken by the experience but grateful that their car and caravan were
recovered. However, a digital camera was stolen from the car."
