A CAR stolen from one Tesco store was then used to steal petrol from another.

Police are now appealing for information on the double theft, which happened at the weekend.

A grey Volkswagen Bora, registration PK52 JJU, was stolen from Tesco in Port Talbot at 4.20pm on Saturday after the 90-year-old owner left the keys in the ignition while he returned a shopping trolley.

The car was seen leaving the car park when it was being driven by a man described as white, fairly tall, of slim build, smartly dressed, with dark or black coloured hair.

At around 8.10pm that day the same car was used in the theft of fuel at the Tesco filling station in Llansamlet.
