In a theft at Red Bull's Milton Keynes factory more than 60 Formula One trophies won by the team were stolen on Saturday.
Six men used a 4x4 to gain access to the Milton Keynes factory in Bradbourne Drive in Tilbrook.
Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner said that they were devastated by the break-in as the trophies took years and hard work to accumulate, The BBC reported.
The Police revealed that the night staff working at the site were not harmed.
Horner said that the break-in caused significant damage and was very upsetting for their night officers who were on duty at the time.

Horner claimed that the value of the trophies to the team is extraordinarily high due to the hard work and effort that went into bagging each one of them, but he added that the trophies' intrinsic value is of little benefit given the fact that many of them were replicas.
The Formula One championship and constructors trophies were not at the factory, having been presented to Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes for winning the 2014 titles.
Horner claimed that the actions of these men would prompt them to make their site less accessible in the future, which would be unfair on the hundreds of fans that travel to visit their factory each year to see their trophies and their Formula One car.
The police, meanwhile, said that in addition to the silver 4x4, a black or dark blue Mercedes estate car was also involved, and both are believed to have foreign number plates.
