i have been informed today that in the suffolk lowestoft area there have been 17 horse thefts they are 2 european men in either a white van red cruiser going around local livery yards and private fields taking pictures of horses and stealing them for orders please be very wary of anything suspisious and keep an eye on your horseys !!!
 
weve had warnings of exactly the same people here with the same vehicle.....

all fields are being padlocked as we speak
 
we have also had the warning and also have the reg no for the white van they are driving, would i get into trouble for posting the reg no?, they have been spotted in both a red land cruiser and a white van
 
we've had the same warning in norfolk- could you pm me the reg number so I can make it known to others on my livery yard?
 
I've just posted below the same thing, we are in Colchester. I won't put the whole reg up on here but it is N253 X**

(NB: these are believed to be false plates - these plates belong to a cream ford minibus, which is not involved in stealing horses - read more about this number plate)

They either get around a lot or its a text that is suffering from Chinese whispers!!
 
I have received this by text and then from someone in RC -

"There have been three sightings of suspicious men with Eastern European ascents photographing horses. These could be a steal to order gang. The men have been seen at shows and events and even in horse fields. They have been seen in a white van reg N253 X** and a red land cruiser. Police are treating this as suspicious. Please contact them urgently if you see anything".

I have no idea if this is genuine or not or where the information came from originally but, it seemed to me to be prudent to let you know what we have been told. I am based in Bristol
 
There is a post on here devon area they have just stolen a chestnut.They were in our area 3 weeks ago and took two cobs.
 
I got the text too and I am in cheshire!! So I dont think they are going to be pinching anything soon as the whole country is on the look out for them

I too got the text along with others i know and we're in bucks/berks and oxon areas! i quess it's better to go around everywhere so lots of people are aware.Won't hurt even if it's not true!
 
Ive heard of that and Iam in Notts yes neilm they must be driving round 24/7! What I cant under stand is if there are so many sightings of this transit van and the reg number why are the police not going to see these people, the van must be registered to some one.
