Gwent Police in Wales are investigating a report of the theft of a silver Ford Sierra Cosworth classic car from an address near Newport.

Two men - who officers now believe could be from Oldham - arranged to view the car on Friday, April 12 after seeing it advertised for sale on a social media group.

The first man (pictured top), who identified himself Ryan Marsh on social media - although police believe this to be an alias - is described as white, in his 40s, around 5ft 9", of slim build, with short dark brown hair.

The second man (above) is described as white, in his 50s, around 5ft 8", of slim build, with no hair, but did not provide his name to the victim.

Officers believe the men could be from the north of England, and Oldham in particular.

The appeal featured on BBC’s Crimewatch Live show on Wednesday, October 9.

If you recognise them, contact Gwent Police via their website, call them on 101 or send officers a direct message on Facebook or X, quoting log reference 2400121243.

You can also call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111 with information.
