A delivery van containing more than 200 undelivered parcels has been stolen in Cardiff.
A woman on Twitter said that her father, who is a Hermes delivery driver, had his van stolen from Mill Road in Lisvane on Monday, December 6.
In a post on Monday, she asked people to look out for a white Ford Transit with registration NA58 TKO, which she claimed contained "240 parcels" inside it.

With only 18 sleeps until Christmas, and it being possible that many of the parcels were festive gifts, the woman's post understandably sparked outrage and sympathy in the replies.
"What an absolute nightmare! The poor man," said Deborah Parr.

"I know this is a long shot but I hope the van is found quickly with all of packages still inside!" added Marie Rose.
