Amy Satt, whose father's car was stolen, said: "It was stolen on Friday night at some point. I put it on the March Discussion Facebook page and someone messaged me to say they had spotted a burnt out car of the same description near Primrose Hill in Doddington.

"So I decided to have a look and yes it was the car. I notified the police and an investigation is still going on."

One crew from Chatteris was called to the vehicle fire on Primrose Hill at 1.34am.
