A ROLLS-ROYCE flying lady symbol was stolen on Sunday afternoon.

The theft took place in Brookmans Avenue, Brookmans Park, between 5pm and 5.30pm.

Police believe the thieves gained access from the golf club road. As well as the iconic symbol, crooks also tried unsuccessfully to gain access to a till.

Appealing for witnesses, detective constable Glen Turrell-Oldacre said: “Anyone out of place would have attracted attention.

“This is a very unusual burglary where they have specifically targeted the symbol from the car.”
