Thanks to some excellent work by Hampshire Equine Liaison and Countrywatch officers Three stolen Ifor Williams HB505R horse trailers were seized at the Wickham horse Fair yesterday in Hampshire.
I am sure you will agree that this is good news but it could easily have been more
An appeal from Jon Radcliffe Countryside and Wildlife Crime Officer:
What assisted us in this was that chassis numbers had been recorded by the owners and reported to police. Please make sure that you record all numbers or individual marks on property. Take photos of it! It makes it easier to identify. You might think you look daft taking a picture of something like a chainsaw or hedge trimmer, but it does help to identify stuff!
It's going to be a lovely weekend so spare a little time to protect your property even if you paint a postcode on a strimmer!
Equally if you are offered a Trailer that is far too cheap there is probably a reason for it so don't add to other peoples mysery and walk away, but don't forget to let the police know as well!
