A STOLEN car has been found in Selkirk just 12 hours after being taken from a nearby farm.

Police confirmed the suspected thief was found asleep in the driver's seat.

The blue 4x4 was driven away from Lindean Moor Farm, near Selkrik, between 6pm and 7.20pm last night (Thursday).

Edwina Stacey-Marks made a plea to Border Telegraph readers this morning to trace her beloved Isuzu pick up.

Within a few hours police had recovered the vehicle.

The alleged thief is due to appear in court on Monday.
