A FAMILY are devastated after their holiday-ready caravan – containing six years of memories – was stolen from their driveway 24 hours before their planned departure.
Last Thursday, between about 9.40am and 2pm, thieves unhitched the lock of the 24-foot long Fleetwood Colchester caravan in Chelmer Road and towed it away.
Inside were the kids' DVDs, Nintendo DS game consoles, clothes, homemade jewellery, home movies and Sue Bradshaw's cherished holiday diary.
"We are completely and utterly devastated.
"It was our pride and joy and a little bit of heaven that was taken away from us," said 43-year-old mum-of-two Mrs Bradshaw.
The incident is the latest in a string of caravan thefts, including a case on March 5 in Storms Way, Springfield.
The investigating Essex Police officers urge people to be vigilant and said anyone with information, including of the caravan registered S999 SNB, should contact them.
Residents can call Chelmsford police station on 101.
