A SELF-drive van that was stolen from UDrive in Blackburn Road has been found.

The white Ford Transit van was one of two taken by four men in balaclavas on Tuesday at around 1am.

The other white van was also recovered in Farnworth on Tuesday after the owner was able to use its tracking system to locate it.

Owner, Stuart Lever, said: “The van was seen fuelling up in Tesco in Horwich and a man went over and challenged them and they stopped fuelling and drove off.”

Mr Lever added: “The police were extremely concerned about it being used in a serious crime.”
