Young family is left with nothing after they hired a 'man with a van' on Facebook to help them move house - and he drove off stealing ALL their possessions

Walsall family left with nothing after Facebook 'man with van' drove off with belongings
Becky Szenk, 22, and her fiancĂ© Mark Higgins (pictured main with their daughter Ariyah) had booked a removal worker advertised as Lee Green to help them move from their flat to the pub which Mr Higgins manages in Walsall Wood, West Midlands. But after the two workers loaded up the rental van, they drove off with the entire contents of the couple's flat - including the fridge freezer, washing machine and Ms Szenk's engagement ring - and were never seen again. The missing items - which Ms Szenk believes are worth £10,000 - include a wardrobe, a settee, all their family photos and clothing and medical records for the couple's seven-month-old daughter Ariyah. The Facebook page (top left) advertising the removal service has since been taken down and West Midlands Police is investigating the alleged theft.
