West Brecon Cave Rescue team's Landrover has been stolen.
So if anyone spots a white Landrover with CAVE RESCUE painted down the side, its a white LWB Landrover, registration number X338DCY - please call the Police IMMEDIATELY. Its probably full of equipment as well which is likely to knock them out of operation.

Update: the vehicle was stolen from the Cave Rescue base at Penwyllt where the theives have smashed up the base and stolen the equipment that the team uses.

Unfortunately lives could be put at risk now if an emergency occurs.
 
Press Release

The HQ of the West Brecon Cave Rescue Team was broken into on the night of May 14/15 2006.

The team's emergency response Landrover Ambulance was stolen along with an amount of specialist equipment, radios, etc. Access was gained by pick-axe through the front doors.

The team is working to return itself to 100 percent operational efficency although without the special equiped Land rover there are subsatntial problems to overcome - the theft could potentially put lives at risk. Initial assessments put the cost of the theft at £40,000+, much of which has been raised through charitable donations and grant funding.

The police are on scene and investigating.

Should any person be offered susupicious items they should contact the Police.
