Scholes victim of car theft

Thieves stole a top-of-the-range 4x4 owned by Manchester United star Paul Scholes as he defrosted the windscreen.

The footballer left the engine running to melt ice on his grey Chevrolet Captiva Estate while it was parked on his driveway and nipped back inside his home in the Greenfield area of Oldham Greater Manchester. When he 
returned, the car had been 
stolen.

The incident happened on Monday between 7.45am and 8am, Greater Manchester Police said.

Police urged drivers not to leave their cars running and unattended while defrosting as it only takes a thief a few seconds to steal the vehicle.
