Bandits snatched thousands of novelty Simpsons sets from the back of a lorry in an audacious daylight raid. The toys, which feature the popular cartoon family riding skateboards, were en route to Margate, where parent company Hornby is based. But raiders intercepted the toys, worth £30 each, at an M2 service station at around noon on Monday. Today investigators were drawing blanks on how the criminals entered the vehicle as clues leading to the culprits were sketchy. Nick Cole, operations director for Hornby, said: “I don’t know what Homer would say. Probably ‘Doh!’ “We’ve got a lot of stock in the market place, so hopefully there’s not going to be too many disappointed kids.” The 2,500 stolen Simpsons Micro Scalextrics are worth around £75,000. Kent police are appealing for information to track the raiders
