FIREFIGHTERS at Malmesbury Fire Station were dismayed to find that one of the wheels from their training cars had been stolen on Wednesday morning.

Watch Manager Malmesbury Fire Station Chris Harvey explained that the cars were used for training firefighters in how to deal with crashed cars and that the wheels on this particular vehicle were quite rare.

The staff at the station are asking the thief to return the wheel and are asking that they do so rather than using police time to locate the culprit.
