Burnt out car on Beach Road

Residents this morning were treated to fire-engines and Police who were called out to a burning car left abandoned half way down the rough track past the sewage farm towards Lee-Over-Sands.

By the looks of things, the thieves had tried to turn the vehicle around, realising the road was going nowhere - and the car grounded as the wheels went off the side of the road, and it was then torched to hide evidence.

As we're in a remote location this presumably meant they had a long walk back to somewhere!

UPDATE: It must have been someone local after all - it was stolen from St Osyth... I wonder if anyone was seen walking back towards St Osyth or Point Clear that night...
