Test drive Bentley is stolen on arrival in Poland

A BENTLEY sent to Poland for a test drive was stolen not long after it was unloaded.

The BP230,000 Continental GT Speed had been transported from Berlin to Wroclaw for a car magazine's reviewers.

Editor Roman Skapsi said: "The car had probably been monitored by professional thieves as it crossed the border. It had 600 miles on the clock.

"The thieves managed to break open the locks and disable the alarm. The car was well protected but the criminals were clever.

"We have been testing cars for 17 years. This is the first time we've not returned one to its owner."

A police spokesman said: "Such luxury cars are either stolen to order or quickly find buyers, quite often beyond the Polish border."
