A truck load of computer games has been stolen twice in one day.
The computer games, including 16,000 copies of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, a World War Two game, were stolen from a transporter lorry in Northampton in the UK while the driver had a rest.
Police in Leeds spotted a truck with fake numberplates carrying the stolen computer games and impounded the lot.
However before the truck carrying the stolen £600,000 haul of games could be fingerprinted or DNA tested, another bunch of thieves broke into the police lock up and stole the lorry and games for a second time. The lorry was later found empty in a car park in nearby Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The somewhat chastened boys in blue said that they were pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, including Ebay transactions where a number of the games have been potentially identified as being advertised for sale and that arrests have already been made.
Ubi Soft, which makes the games, said that more had been shipped to the area so there was no shortage. X
