Humberside Police Officers stopped and searched 180 vehicles as part of an operation that focused on the theft of machinery. These offences can have a significant impact on the businesses targeted from both the loss and replacement of the equipment taken, to the cost of temporarily reduced activity. During three days of action, the Rural Task Force were joined by neighbourhood and roads policing teams at Bainton in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the lookout for stolen machinery and vehicles.  PC Josh Fawcett of Humberside Police's Rural Task Force lead the operation. He, said: "Agricultural and plant vehicles are particularly vulnerable to theft, with assets sometimes stolen to order. The total cost of rural crime in 2020 is reported to be in excess of £43 million, with theft of agricultural vehicles accounting for £9.1 million.”   During the three days of the operation, one stolen trailer was recovered and another vehicle was seized, while a total of 14 traffic offence reports were also issued. PC Fawcett, added: "Our region is home to many rural communities and we are passionate about protecting them against those who think they can carry out criminal activity there, The financial and emotional impact to rural communities from these types of offences can be severe. It's not just the cost of replacing the equipment, but also the impact of temporarily reducing activities due to the equipment being stolen."

A workman who had power tools stolen from his van was left stunned when he confronted the two suspected thieves - and they tried to sell them back to him. In the early hours of Saturday morning of 17 July 2021, Norhumbria Police were alerted to a theft from a motor vehicle in the Humbledon Park area of Sunderland. The victim woke up to a car alarm going off outside the house and upon further inspection realised £1,500 worth of power tools had been stolen from his van. After checking his CCTV footage, the victim spotted two men acting suspiciously in the area and notified the local authority - while jumping into his van to search the area.  Moments later, the victim saw two men who looked similar to those on the footage at the Esso Petrol Station on Durham Road. He was then taken aback when one of the males - unaware that he was in fact talking to the victim - asked whether he wanted to buy any power tools. Police were quickly on the scene and arrested two men – aged 41 and 34 – on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle. They have since both been charged with the offence and are due to appear in court today (Monday 19 July 2021). Inspector Marie Pollock, of Northumbria Police, said: "We take car crime seriously and know the corrosive impact that it can have on the spirit within our communities. The victim in this case deserves huge credit for his decisive actions. After realising his van had been broken into, he called police and worked with us to help guide officers towards the location of two suspects nearby. That meant we were able to seize various items believed to have been stolen including power tools and after shave. This is an excellent outcome that once again showed the value of the public reporting incidents to us." Inspector Pollock spoke of a result and said: "As a result, two suspects will appear before the courts to answer their respective charges." Inspector Pollock would like to reassure the public and concluded: "Our officers will continue to patrol hotspot areas and are committed to taking swift and robust action against thieves and burglars, and this case once again highlights how the public can work hand-in-hand with us in order to ensure our city remains a safe place to live and work." Inspector Pollock also reminded residents to take an extra second to help deter opportunistic offenders eyeing a quick win. She, said: "Quite often, thieves can go street by street trying car or house doors in the hope that one is unlocked. If they are locked, they then move on to the next car and next street. I'd always encourage people to check and double check that their cars and doors are locked, and any valuables kept out of sight. By working together, we will continue to bring thieves and burglars to justice." Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area or who may have information to assist the investigation is asked to contact police by calling 101 quoting log NP-20210717-0207.
