A VIDEO has been released that shows the moment thieves drove off with a number of high performance cars from a Thurrock site.

Police are investigating the multiple theft of luxury cars in Bulphan last month after officers were called to an industrial unit on Brentwood Road shortly after midnight on 11 November following reports of five vehicles being stolen.

The suspects entered the yard, cutting the bolts on the front gate before stealing the vehicles, worth an estimated value of more than £700,000. The cars stolen included two Porsche's, a Mercedes A45 AMG 4MATIC and a rare Ariel Atom car.
