The owner of a black Toyota pick-up stolen from a glamping site in the Borders has revealed the theft has left her "feeling sick to the core".

The vehicle - which had the words Sunny Bedrule "written all over it" - was taken from an area near Denholm sometime overnight on Friday (April 19th).

It's the latest in a series of car thefts in the region in recent weeks.

Last month, a white Skoda Kodiaq parked in the Hislop Gardens area of Hawick - just seven miles away - was taken.

It follows similar thefts in Stow and Lauder earlier the same week, when thieves entered properties and stole the keys.

Police are appealing to the public for information.
