Love Island's Olivia Attwood 'drained' as her stolen £70k Range Rover is found

Love Island star Olivia Attwood says she is “drained” after her stolen £70k Range Rover has been found.

The ITV reality star took to Instagram in the early hours of Thursday (September 15) to beg fans for their help in locating the luxury vehicle after thieves took it from her driveway. Posting an image of the car to her Instagram stories, she said: “This car has just been stolen from my driveway, about 15 mins ago. If anyone in Manchester sees it.

“Offering reward. It has a tracker and we have camera images of the thieves.”

After the help of some social media detectives, Olivia issued an update around 8pm with the news her car had been found. Again taking to her Instagram stories, she said: “CAR FOUND! That’s the power of social media baby!

“The little huns had given me some cute new number plates and parked the car up on a random street. Engine was still hot – AND we caught them coming back for it in broad daylight.”

After what was surely a stressful day, the former islander – who lives in Manchester with her fiancé, Blackburn Rovers footballer Bradley Dack – said she was “drained” as she thanked her followers for their help. She added: “Without all your messages and sightings I never would [have] seen that car again.

“I feel like we are the avengers or something it’s great, love you x.”

Althought is unclear where the car was found, earlier on Thursday Olivia urged “anyone in petrol stations in Manchester/Cheshire to keep your eyes open” after revealing it had no fuel. She also said the thieves had been “chucking out dog towels [and] clothing” and asked for any witnesses to send photos and their location in an attempt to retrieve it.

Olivia is the latest in a string of celebrities to have their cars stolen, as last month The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks had his £85k Range Rover stolen from his driveway in Harlow. In December last year, former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona had two cars stolen in just 11 days.

A distraught Kerry said she was “in bits” after robbers took her boyfriend’s Mercedes from their driveway just days after she raced after the thieves who took her £110k Range Rover from an Oldham shopping park.
