A man who has been caught red handed during a van break-in in Lincoln now has a £100 reward over his head.

Captured on CCTV by van owner Nev Otter, the video of the man accused of stealing a laptop computer has been shared by over 1,600 people on Facebook.

The theft reportedly occurred at around 7.30am on July 25 on the Allenby industrial estate in Lincoln.
