"Appeal for sightings of classic car and a trailer"

Police are appealing for information after this 1967 classic Ford GT was stolen from a garage workshop in Mangakino, Waikato, overnight on Saturday 12 November, 2016.

The valuable vehicle has been in the owner's family for years and was in the process of being rebuilt, so it would have needed to be towed away on a trailer.

Officers are also keen to hear from anyone with information about the theft of a car trailer, pictured, that was stolen from Wharepapa South, in Waikato, during the same timeframe.

It's the believed the two incidents may be linked.

A vehicle of a similar description to the Ford GT was seen being towed by a large light blue or grey Bedford truck in the Tahuna/Ohinewai area on Sunday night (13 November) around 8pm.

Anyone who has seen the car and/or trailer since Saturday night, or who has information that may help the investigation, is asked to contact Tokoroa Police on 07 885 0100.

Information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
