Stolen Telehandler Recovered by the Rural Crime Team

This JCB telehandler was located by RCT officers in the Hurley area and confirmed stolen from Norfolk.

We’ve had previous incidents in Warwickshire of stolen telehandlers being used by criminal groups to smash shop fronts and steal cash machines.

Thankfully this one was located in slightly more mundane circumstances and follows some great partnership working with Norfolk Constabulary.

The machine will now be returned to its very grateful owner.

Norfolk and Warwickshire Police will continue to investigate the matter, and we hope to provide an update in due course with any further arrests or court results.

We can’t stress the importance of purchasing equipment and items from reputable sellers. Far too often we are discovering buyers are not conducting appropriate checks before purchasing.
