A Request from Lancashire Constabulary

On behalf of the Police Forces across the UK, Lancashire Constabulary Stolen Vehicle Squad is compiling a list of stolen motorcaravans, which it is hoped will assist in their recovery and identification.

The most relevant information which is frequently absent from reports, is the name and model of the actual motorhome conversion. For example a 'van may be recorded simply as Fiat Ducato when it is actually a Benimar 6000 ST or a Swift Royale 630 or as a Ford Transit when it is an Autosleeper Amethyst.

To collect this information is a mammoth task. I would be interested in hearing from anybody who has a motorhome stolen in the future or has had one stolen in the last five years or so. As details of base vehicle manufacturer and engine/chassis numbers are already available to the police, the information I am hoping to receive is:=

   registration mark

   make and full model of conversion

  owners name and contact telephone number(s)

Additionally if there are any unusual (e.g. left hand drive or automatic transmission) or distinguishing features these may assist in identifying a vehicle where the identification numbers have been removed or changed. In the case of a distinctive vehicle a photograph may be helpful and these can be sent by e-mail. Pictures sent by post cannot be returned.

Information can be sent by email to:- stolenmotorcaravans@lancashire.pnn.police.uk or by post to:-
