A PERSON has been found asleep in the driver's seat of a stolen vehicle. 

The car and sleeping person was found in a country lane in Abbotswood, near Evesham, at 11.30am on Sunday (February 12) when a passerby got suspicious.

One person is now in custody for the theft of the car and other items which could be used to commit further thefts - equipment used to syphon fuel from vehicles.

Rowan Boyle, a temporary police sergeant on Rural South Worcestershire Patrol, said: "It has been a busy but rewarding day for rural south Worcestershire."
