A family have had their holiday ruined by thieves who unhitched their caravan from their car while they had stopped at motorway services in Surrey.
The Dethleff caravan, worth about £5,000, was stolen from Clacket Lane services on the M25 near Limpsfield on Monday morning.
Surrey Police said the family were on their way to Dover and the caravan was packed with equipment.
Det Con Julian Knowles said the theft had left the family "devastated".
'Salvage their holiday'
Det Con Julian Knowles said: "It cannot be underestimated how brazen this theft was. The caravan was unhitched from the family's car and driven away within a very short amount of time."
He added: "I am appealing to caravan enthusiasts who may be offered a white Dethleffs for sale at a heavily reduced price to contact us immediately as it may belong to this family.
"This is an incredibly unusual theft to occur and I am sure someone will know where this caravan and contents are or who was responsible.
"With your help we can reunite this family with their possessions and hopefully they can salvage something of their summer holiday together."
