Increase in Plant Theft in East Riding Of Yorkshire

Over the past few weeks we have had a spike in theft of plant machinery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. A large proportion of this has been surrounding construction sites within our rural communities. Essentially house building locations, where construction ceases on a night/weekend and staff on the sites are leaving items, such as mini diggers, tandem rollers, dumper trucks etc on site. We will be proactively targeting areas that are susceptible to such thefts but would also ask that the public be vigilant and report any sightings of suspicious vehicles or persons. Please use the 999 system if you feel that a crime is in progress or about to be committed.
