Some of you may have read that my old Defender 90 was nicked at the end of January (since been recovered). I spoke with a DC in charge of the case today as it's now confirmed to be part of a larger investigation. Several Land Rovers have apparently been stolen in recent months, the locations of the thefts were County Durham, Tyne and Wear and surrounding areas. It appears that an organised group is targeting Land Rovers currently throughout the North East. Now I know they get nicked a lot but the discussion was based around several being nicked within a relatively short time frame and within the North East specifically.
A partial print and some other trace was recovered from my LR and CSI will be here tomorrow to dna tape 3 tools I found in my LR after its recovery that don't belong to me. Fingers crossed that will produce something that will bring them nearer to catching this lot.
So, just a heads up that organised LR thefts are taking place in the North East at the moment, in numbers sufficient to warrant its own investigation, so check your security and keep your eyes peeled.
