PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE FROM THE RURAL, WILDLIFE AND HERITAGE CRIME TEAM TO ALL YOUR LOCAL RURAL GROUPS

We are currently in a spike of thefts of Quad Bikes, ATV's and Trailers - the team are working hard to recognise patterns and identify offenders but we need your help!

🔒 Please ensure that your security is as tight as it can be. Gates shut, machines and trailers are locked away with functioning cameras and lighting. If you do have a machine stolen, please report it immediately (asking for it to be flagged to the Rural Crime Team!) and secure CCTV images.
It's all about making thieves lives as hard as possible!

🔑 If you can - get the key barrel changed in your machine. A lot of agricultural manufacturers have security issues with their keys, getting a new unique one will help put obstacles in the way of thieves!

🚐 Smaller quad bikes can be concealed in large vans not just pulled on trailers so please report any suspicious vehicles in the area to us!

🚨 If you haven't already, please consider a tracking device! You don't have to use our schemes but trackers can really make a massive difference in returning the machine to you - two of the stolen machines were located as they had some form of tracker in them. Just make sure any devices are very well hidden!

If you are interested in one from our scheme, please see below:

We are currently in partnership with AX TRACK (hidden trackers concealed in your machine) and VIN CHIP (who use RFID Technology - like a microchip all over your machine that helps identify an owner when located) and this offer is exclusive for Gloucestershire.
