More than 60 trophies stolen from Red Bull racing factory

Red Bull's Formula 1 racing team have been left "devastated" after more than 60 trophies were stolen from their Milton Keynes factory.

The theft took place on Friday Night and caused significant damage according to Thames Valley Police.

Team boss Christian Horner told Autosport: "We are obviously devastated by this serious factory break-in, which saw offenders drive a vehicle through our front entrance and steal more than 60 trophies which took years and hard work to accumulate.

"The offenders took items that not only did not belong to them, but which represented the efforts of a group of dedicated, hard-working individuals."

Horner said the trophies had little monetary value as many of them were replicas and expressed surprise at the aggressive nature of the robbery.

Police said they received a call from the Milton Keynes factory at 1:30am and sent officers to investigate reports of six men using a car to drive through the front entrance to gain access to the factory.

Two cars were used, and police said both are believed to have foreign number plates.

An official appeal has been launched by police to find the trophy thieves.
