An Isle of Wight singer songwriter is appealing for information after her tour van was broken into and guitars, amps and pedals stolen, just hours before she is due on stage at the London Apollo.
Lauran Hibberd is on tour with The Vamps and is hours away from her gig at the Hammersmith venue.
She has taken to Instagram to ask for help in her bid to recover the vital lost kit, adding the theft had been caught on CCTV.
Only last month, Lauran and her band entertained the crowds at The Hundred cricket competition.
Lauran posted: "Can’t believe I’m writing this.
"Our van has been broken into and all of our stuff has been stolen from the London Excel area.
"Please keep an eye out for anything, some of these items are quite distinctive.
"Still hoping to somehow play later. Please share as much as you can."
The Vamps are headlining their rescheduled gig tonight and played the Isle of Wight Festival 2017 and (below) in 2014.
