Stolen Winnebago vans found!
Two, extremely rare US-built caravans stolen in late-February have been recovered by policeThe two, grey Winnebago Minnie caravans stolen in late-February, have been recovered.
Apollo Motorhome Holidays' marketing manager Anita Cripps said the US-built vans were discovered about two weeks’ ago not far from where they were stolen from a holding yard in Tullamarine, Victoria.
“They dumped them about 10 minutes down the road … they were left on the roadside,” she said.
“We were very lucky. We had given up on finding them at that point.”
She said Victoria Police had provided very little information about the discovery, but she believes no-one has been charged in relation to the crime.
“We don’t know anything about it, and probably won’t, from what the police said. I suppose we were just lucky to get them back, and undamaged.”
Cripps said it’s possible the vans were deemed too ‘hot’, being the first of their type in the country and therefore highly recognizable out in public.
The theft was also extensively reported in mainstream newspapers and websites.
“It didn’t help that two of them were prototypes, so you were going to spot them from a mile away,” she said.
