On the 26th July 2024 at about 17:54 Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary received an emergency phone call about a road traffic collision in Winchester Street, Overton. A white Ford Transit van on a stolen registration plate of CF18AOW had caused a collision. The stolen van then continued on Winchester St and then turned right onto Batten’s Avenue and then right onto Waltham Rd. The stolen Ford Transit then continued with a flat tyre and wheel damage along Waltham Rd where it came to a stop at the junction of Sprents Lane. The driver fled the scene back toward Winchester St and Greyhound Lane and has not been located.

The stolen van has been recovered. 

Have you seen this Ford Transit van before, did you see the collision, did you see the Ford Transit van as it travelled through Overton, have you seen the driver whilst they were driving or after they fled and do you have any CCTV that would help the investigation.
