“Bravely the witnesses managed to follow them and point us in the right direction and we recovered them, mostly undamaged, from the Kirkhouse Green area of Doncaster.”

The two minibuses belonged to the 8th Wyberton Scouts group.

A Free Press Facebook follower said: “Well done SYP Operational Support.

"Did you ask the neighbours around the area you found it, “did they see anything”?

"I bet the scouts could easily get their detective badge on this one!”
