Car wash owners hunt brazen thief who stole SUV

The owners of a car wash have issued a £1k reward after a brazen thief drove off with an SUV while it was being cleaned. A vehicle, which still had the keys in the ignition, was taken from the family-run Cousins Hand Car Wash and Valeting Service in Basildon, Essex on Tuesday (Jan 22). Hawkar Khdir, a family member who helps run the business, has now posted the shocking footage of the theft on social media and is offering a £1,000 reward. The video reveals how the red Vauxhall Mokka was stolen while it was being cleaned at the car wash with all four doors and the boot open. Mr Khdir shared the video on Facebook and said: "£1000 REWARD TO ANY ONE TO HELPING US TO FIND THIS CAR."
