Mark Wright’s Range Rover is found after he asks fans for help to recover £65,000 car stolen off his drive
MARK Wright’s Range Rover has been found after he appealed for help to find the stolen motor on Twitter.
The TV star tweeted tonight: “Car has now been found 20mins away … Thank you to all the people who tweeted and showed support. X”
The 33-year-old former Towie star also credited the police for tracking his car, worth £65,000, after it was pinched by brazen robbers while he was in the house.
He said: “Thank you to @MetaTrakUK @metpoliceuk @EssexPoliceUK for your incredible work.”
Earlier today a panicked Mark pleaded with fans on Twitter and wrote: “If Anyone sees a black Range Rover sport in the Chigwell area heading away from Abridge please tweet me.
“Just this second stolen off my drive whilst we are home. Unbelievable.”
He also tweeted the car’s number plate so fans could contact him with their sightings.
A source told The Sun that the high-tech car is fitted with a tracker – meaning the star and local police were able to follow it.
They explained: “Mark accidentally left his gate unlocked and that’s when the car was stolen.
“But, the car has a tracker on it – Mark’s already found it in Ilford so will have it back within the hour.”
An Essex Police spokesman later revealed: “We were called to reports a car had been stolen in Abridge at around 4.10pm on Monday 7 December. The vehicle was recovered in Ilford a short time later.”
Mark told fans: “Car has now been found 20mins away. Thank you to @MetaTrakUK@metpoliceuk@EssexPoliceUK for your incredible work.

The robbery comes days after Tottenham star Harry Kane was also the victim of Range Rover thieves, having his car pinched from Chingford, East London, a short drive away from Chigwell.
