A car dealership had a tough week. They just celebrated 100 years in business. Sadly, thieves raided the dealership the next day.

WH Brand is the name of the dealership. William Horace Brand created it on February 3, 1925. It is located in Whaplode Drove. Lincolnshire Police are working on the case.

Thieves filled a white Ford van with equipment, then drove away from the dealership. The police want information about the van. Adam Brand thinks thieves targeted the business. He is the fifth generation to work there.

He called it a sad start to their centennial celebration. Thieves stole gear boxes, alloy wheels, and tyres, which were quite valuable.
