THIEVES took fruit juice and fizzy drinks in a night-time raid on a lorry.

They targeted the vehicle in a lay-by on the westbound carriageway of the A303 between Popham and Bullington Cross, near Winchester.

The raid took place at about 2.30am on Tuesday, January 26, while the driver was asleep in the cab.

The getaway vehicle is described as a shabby white box lorry, either 7.5 or 10 tonne, with rust spots.

Its registration was covered in tape, but its first letter was ‘R’, officers added.

Police said the two thieves were both white and slim. One was wearing dark trousers, an orange jacket and a dark baseball cap.

The gang made off with 60 cases of Oasis citrus punch, 144 cans of Coke and 26 tins of Fanta, worth £2,490.
