Police are appealing to early morning workers such as taxi drivers, milkmen and postal workers to help combat crime by keeping an eye out for suspicious behaviour

One of the things workers are being asked to look out for is cars which have different registration plates to the caravans they are towing.

 Det Sgt Simon Ingham, of the  Serious and Organised Crime Unit stolen vehicle squad, stated: “We’re asking them to look out for any suspicious behaviour, and also to look out for caravans which are being towed by vehicles containing one or more males.

“It’s also worth noting that in some circumstances where a stolen caravan is recovered by people contacting the police in this way, they may receive a substantial reward.”

The leaflets are being handed out across the county.

Anyone with information should contact 08451 253545 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Remember to take as many precautions as possible.  Visit our Caravan Security section.
