Two masked men broke into a luxury car dealership in Newport in the early hours of Sunday, August 18, leaving its owners devastated. Rory Collingbourne, co-founder of the Whitson Prestige Car Vehicle Sales & Brokerage, was met with destruction when he went into work on Sunday, August 18. His showroom had been "ransacked", with windows left smashed, a garage door forced open and two cars, worth £85,000, stolen.
Whitson Prestige is a family-run business specialising in luxury, performance and classic cars. In a video shared to his Instagram, Rory said: "This isn't only our showroom but this is our family home. Words cannot describe how upset and cross we are right now.

He has shared the images on social media and said that any relevant details would be rewarded.
