£158,000 of Stolen Vehicles and Equipment Recovered by Rural Crime Team

Recently during the early hours of the morning the Rural Crime Team was contacted by one of their partners NaVCIS (National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service) who had received intelligence that two stolen quad bikes from Warwickshire were at a location near Cleeves Prior in Worcestershire.

Officers from the team later met with NaVCIS, and supported by the local Safer Neighbourhood Police Team and West Mercia Police entered the address.  The two stolen quad bikes, which had been taken from a property in Binton the day before were immediately located.  Whilst arranging for the quads to be recovered officers noticed a different area which had lots of vehicles including quads, caravans, trailers and cement mixers stored.  They immediately started to check all of the equipment, plant and vehicles and identified several of them were stolen.  These were also recovered, value £158,000.  A male is assisting with enquiries whilst an investigation is being undertaken by West Mercia Police.
