Two stolen vehicles belonging to Premier League footballers have been found in shipping containers heading to the UAE.

The Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit (SVIU) of the Essex Police in the UK found a Ferrari and Range Rover Sport in containers that were scheduled to travel to Dubai from London Gateway in Thurrock. 

A statement released by Essex Police read: “Our Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit have tracked down and returned cars belonging to two Premier League footballers.
