A MAN is due to appear in court this week charged with stealing a Mercedes from a dealership in Gloucestershire.

Matthew Lynas, age 36, is due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates Court on Friday.

Lynas, of Northwick Close, Worcester, is charged with stealing a white Mercedes of unknown value belonging to the Mercedes Benz of Cheltenham and Gloucester dealership.

The theft is alleged to have occurred on December 19, 2022.
