A LOCAL family have had to cancel their camping holiday after they were targeted by thieves earlier this month.
Phil Harrison was dismayed to wake up and discover his trailer tent had been taken from the garages in Hopwas Close, Kingshurst in the early hours of Monday, May 19.
Under cover of darkness, the crooks had broken into the building – near Yorkswood school - and removed the tent, which the Harrisons had only bought last month.
The item is a Conway Royale Trailer Tent (circa 1991), beige in colour with a brown tarpaulin cover.
Urging anyone with information to contact police, Mr Harrison said: “The trailer tent was a massive investment for my family and I.
“We are hardly millionaires and we were looking to take our daughter and her friends away on a camping trip to celebrate her 16th birthday in June. Those plans have now had to be scrapped.”
Solihull Police are investigating the theft and following up reports that the tent was offered for sale on the internet shortly after it was taken.
If you have any information, call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
