Police recover food van

STUDENTS feared it would never be seen again.

But, a week after John’s Van – which has been providing hot food and drinks for more than 30 years – was towed away by thieves from outside Sheffield University, it has been recovered by police.

The theft sparked a major search for the van via Twitter, with Sheffielders including artist Pete McKee joining the drive to find it.

Jeremy Woolley, who took over the business from his father John, said on Twitter: “It’s been found folks. Thanks for all your help! I have no doubt this wouldn’t have happened without your help.”

He added: “Can’t say much more at the moment with regards to where it was found or who had it. So happy right now.”
