The NCC, VIN CHIP, and NCC CRiS – proud to assist and support law enforcement in achieving the right result. Collaborative efforts like these are vital in safeguarding our communities and ensuring justice prevails.

SIX SUSPECTS CHARGED!

Following a 20-month investigation, working alongside the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS), EuroPol and multiple UK Police Forces. We have now charged six suspects with Conspiracy to Conceal, Disguise, Convert Transfer or Remove Criminal Property. The charges relate to alterations made to and the movement of, stolen high value caravans between the 01/01/2020 and 22/05/2023.

The offenders aged between 20 and 72 and from the West Midlands and North East areas of the UK, will appear at Crewe Magistrates court at the end of this month for their first hearing.

As we enter 2025, we hope these charges serve as a strong deterrent to offenders who may consider committing crime in rural Cheshire.

The message we want to send is clear. If you come to Cheshire to commit crime, you should expect to find police at your door (wherever that may be), expect us to seize your criminally gained assets and expect to find yourself stood in a court room!

We will now continue to work with the Crown Prosecution Service to secure the right result for the multiple victims of this groups crimes.

🚨 Five Stolen Caravans Recovered Thanks to CRiS and UK Police Forces! 🚨

We’re excited to share that five stolen caravans have been successfully recovered, thanks to the partnership between CRiS (Central Registration & Identification Scheme) and the outstanding work of UK police forces. This success highlights how technology and teamwork help protect your valuable assets.

Top-performing forces for CRiS checks this week:
🔹 NaVCIS – 26
🔹 North Yorkshire Police – 26
🔹 Thames Valley Police – 13
🔹 Dorset Police – 9
🔹 Sussex Police – 7

CRiS works alongside VIN CHIP technology to make tracing and identifying stolen caravans quicker and more effective, helping reunite owners with their property.

💡 How it works:
1. CRiS Registration gives every caravan a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), making it easier for police and insurers to confirm ownership.
2. VIN CHIP adds extra protection by embedding microchips into caravans for tamper-evident, instant identification.

👏 A massive thank you to the dedicated officers and investigators for their ongoing efforts to prevent caravan theft. Your hard work is truly appreciated!
