A Bolton man has described his shock after his Range Rover was stolen just three weeks after he bought it.
Mohammad Intwala had been at work in Dewsbury and returned to his home on Lever Edge Lane in Great Lever.
He locked the car and returned to his home with the keys.
But just five minutes later he found that thieves had gained entry to his car and driven it away.
CCTV footage of the theft, which happened at around 5.30pm on Wednesday, shows two men approach the vehicle while it is parked.
One gains entry to the driver’s side then the other rushes around the front and enters the passenger’s side.
The devastating theft of his Range Rover came just three weeks after the property developer had purchased the vehicle.
He had been due to install a tracker on the device.
Mr Intwala said: “I came home from Dewsbury, then five minutes later it has gone.
“The keys were with me.
“They have used something to get into the car.
“I have lived here for five years.
“I have had a cricket bag stolen from my car before but never had a car stolen.
“It feels crazy.
“My brain has not been working at all.
“It has made feel unsafe.
“It was gone in 15 seconds.
“I have spoken to the police about it.
“I have heard that sometimes thieves put it in a car park to see if there is a tracker on it.
“I was going to go and get a tracker for it next week.”
He added: “My family are all frustrated.
“It was the first expensive car I have bought and it was here for three week.
“They stole it from me in 15 seconds.”
Mr Intwala, aged 29, is offering a £1,000 reward to anyone who can help locate the vehicle.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the force was looking into the theft.
A spokesperson said: “An investigation is underway.”
