Vehicle Marking, West Yorkshire Police Report post

Tuesday, 27 January, 2015
Calderdale Police are hosting a free Land Rover marking event on Saturday (31 January).
Officers will be at Appleyard Road, Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge, (HX7 5PE) from 10am until 1.00pm and anyone with a Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery 4 and Range Rover Sport (pre 2013) are encouraged to attend the event.
A mechanic from Land Rover Copley will also be in attendance to help.
Last year the force launched Operation Emporia to combat an emerging issue of Land Rover parts being stolen - particularly LED headlamps but also doors, mirrors, bonnets, wheels, clusters and grills.
It had an immediate impact with 14 people arrested and the number of thefts fell.
"The operation was a considerable success but we are not resting on our laurels and are continuing to take the fight to thieves," said DCI Steve Thomas of Calderdale CID.
"If property is security marked it means that if stolen and subsequently recovered officers will be able to return it to the rightful owner.
"It also means that if we stop a vehicle and then check the marking we can make sure that the part is on the car it is meant to be."
