Hide AdInspector Mark Stanley said: “Clearly this was an unusual getaway vehicle and it wasn’t too difficult for officers to spot a pink ice cream van being driven in the middle of the night. The theft of commercial vehicles can have a really big impact on small business owners who often rely on them to make a living."
Fouracres has been remanded in custody and will appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today, Friday, September 4.
