Mark Wright’s stolen Range Rover returned after thieves took car from driveway

Mark Wright was relieved to have his luxury Range Rover returned shortly after thieves had stolen the car from his driveway.

The 33-year-old former TOWIE star appealed to fans on Monday night for help after the black vehicle - said to be worth around £65,000 - was stolen from his stunning home in Essex.

Much to his relief, Mark's car was located a 20 minutes drive away later on in the evening.

The reality star, who shares his lavish home with wife Michelle Keegan, later thanked local police and fans who supported him during the tense moment.

"Car has now been found 20mins away. Thank you to @MetaTrakUK@metpoliceuk@EssexPoliceUK for your incredible work. Thank you to all the people who tweeted and showed support. X," Mark penned after the car had been found.

Mark was actually at home on Monday when the thieves snatched the car from the front of his property.

An insider later told The Sun that the star is believed to have left his front gate open and robbers saw the opportunity to snatch the car.

The television and radio star was left in disbelief following the brazen act and called on his 2.7 million Twitter followers to look out for the vehicle.

"If Anyone sees a black Range Rover sport in the Chigwell area heading away from Abridge please tweet me," Mark wrote on Monday evening.

He added: "Just this second stolen off my drive whilst we are home. Unbelievable."

Fans flocked to share their support as well as tips for Mark to keep his vehicle safe in the future.

Less than an hour later, Mark revealed that the car had been found.

A spokesperson for Essex Police also added: "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."
