Motorhome stolen in Soncourt-sur-Marne

A Citroën Chausson motorhome was stolen in Soncourt-sur-Marne overnight from Sunday 26 to Monday 27 July, between midnight and 5 a.m., on Rue du Pont. The vehicle, registered AR-796-CJ, had no batteries at the time of the theft, according to its owner, and was therefore likely towed. A surveillance camera in front of the home did not provide usable footage. Anyone who sees the vehicle or has information is asked to contact the Bologne gendarmerie.
