A man has been charged with six counts of handling stolen goods after police seized valuable stolen cars from business parks in the Forest of Dean.

Edward Samuel Fear (27) of Wellington Terrace, Newnham, will appear in front of magistrates in Cheltenham this morning (Thursday, June 29th).

The charges relate to six 4x4 vehicles discovered yesterday (Wednesday) at a business park in Sling after local police acted on information from the community.

The site, along with another business park in Parkend, continue to be searched by officers.

So far, 11 4x4 cars from across the country and hundreds of car parts have been found. Officers are working through the items and will be making contact with owners of the stolen vehicles.

Enquiries are continuing.
