🚨 Shock in Splott! 🚐🔧
Oli Ford, the owner of My Property Pros in Cardiff, is reeling after a cunning theft saw his entire fleet of work vans and £45,000 worth of tools vanish. This wasn’t a simple break-in; the culprits seemed to know the ins and outs of Oli’s operation, leaving him stunned and heartbroken.
After closing over a weekend in late September, Oli returned to find his unit at Portmanmoor Industrial Estate completely stripped. The thieves left no mess behind, even locking up as they left, but the key safe was destroyed. Though two vans have been recovered, the contents were gone—valuable equipment like petrol jet washers, gutter vacuums, and electric hose reels were nowhere to be found.
To make matters more unsettling, Oli believes the culprits had inside knowledge: “They must have known our schedule, what we had, and where it was stored.” Feeling a profound impact both financially and mentally, Oli adds, “My confidence is shattered, and I’ve got nothing left in the bank.”
With his livelihood hanging by a thread, the response from the community has been a beacon of hope. Over £1,500 has already been raised to support the business through a fundraiser. Oli expressed his gratitude: “The support and messages have been amazing. It’s been a tough time, but knowing you’re not alone really helps.”
The investigation is ongoing, with South Wales Police on the case. Anyone with information is urged to contact them at 101, quoting reference 2500303878. Let’s rally behind Oli and help bring justice. 🙌🛠️ #SupportLocal #CardiffNews #CommunityStrong
