The club is now asking anyone with information to contact South Yorkshire Police in a bid to recover the vehicle.

A spokesperson for the club said: “This is a real blow to the club, as we raised money for the minibus just a couple of years ago. We have seven teams that benefit from this bus.

“It is such a shame as we have just got the Women’s British Basketball League team back in action having hosted the launch weekend in Sheffield and getting through to the WBBL Cup Semi-finals.”

Anyone who has seen the bus or has information regarding its whereabouts is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident 2962892021.

The registration for the minibus is YP16 XKS.
