Pensioner William Roberts woke up with a start when he was accidentally abducted by thieves trying to steal his £15,000 caravan.

The 70-year-old grandfather was knocked around for 10 minutes with plates and ornaments smashing around him as the thieves began their joyride.

When the criminals made a quick pitstop mr Roberts jumped out and ran to nearby house saying "Someone has taken my caravan. I was in it."

The thieves took police on an 80mph chase before being caught.
