Van raiders steal patients' notes

Medical records have been stolen from a van parked outside a Peterborough medical practice.

They raiders struck between 1130 GMT and 1145 GMT when the van was parked outside Welland Medical Practice.

Health managers say they are concerned about patient confidentiality and want the records returned.
