Thunderbirds merchandise stolen
Merchandise worth £5,000 relating to the 1960s' television programme Thunderbirds has been stolen from the NEC, near Birmingham.

Police say 800 T-shirts bearing the International Rescue logo and 400 FAB 1 pink toy cars were taken from outside a storage unit during the Motor Show.

The items were due to go on sale with the release of a new film based on the cult classic in July.

They were taken overnight between 4 and 5 June.

The goods had been on display at the NEC Motor Show on the Ford stand. Ford sponsored cars featured in the film.
