Police in South Warwickshire are investigating a series of thefts of Landrovers and warning owners to review the security of their vehicles.

Five Landrovers have been stolen in South Warwickshire in October. Two have been recovered in Northamptonshire and police are seeking further information about a red Vauxhall Cavalier car seen at the scene of one of the thefts.

On October 6 a blue Landrover was stolen at around 13 30 at Park Lane, Lower Shuckburgh. Three men arrived in a red Cavalier, took the Landrover and drove off with it toward Daventry. The Landrover was later recovered in Northampton.

Since then Landrovers have been stolen from isolated locations in Long Itchington, Shipston on Stour, Avon Dassett and, most recently at Packwood Lane, Lapworth on Wednesday October 20. The vehicle stolen from Avon Dassett was recovered by Northamptonshire Police in Brixworth.

Police are also linking the theft of a Ford Transit van in Southam on October 19 to the crime series after the van was found burnt out in Northampton.

Anyone with information is asked to call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111.

Police appealed to Landrover owners to review the security of their vehicles and be vigilant to suspicious vehicles or strangers in the area.

Paul:
The local 4x4 dealer who I deal with had 3 Land Rovers stolen
only about 3 weeks ago, They drove them straight through the
10 foot high steel gates, When I last spoke to them they had
not been found.

I don't think it matters how hard you try and secure your motor,
If they want it they will have it and don't seem to care how they
do it.

Range Rover Blues:
Couple of months ago the neighbours Frontera was broken into, only another guy going to work at 4,00 am disturbed them.  The following week about 4 of us on our street fitted steel posts into the end of our drives.  You can't stop theft but you can make it harder, perhaps the best you can hope for sometimes it that they'l nick someone elses motor if it's easier but you best defence is something that takes time and effort to defeat, if it's noisier then all the better.
Remember that statistically your car is most likely to get nicked from outside your home!

Wanderer:
As you said make it harder.
Mine has 2 PIR lights mounted under the eaves of the house pointing at the front and rear.
They don't like lights.
Must put a buzzer into the circuit inside the house.

LOFTY:
Locally to us, a thief stole a Landy from one farm, drove to the next as he had a new horse box, hitched it up, and drove of quick,
only problem, the farmer didnt want his new horse box nicked, so he had it chained to his steel framed shed, using a tractor towing chain, so 12' later the thief came to a sudden stop.
The thief then tryed to sue the farmer for his neck problems, but this was thrown out of court.

And i hear today, a farmer has shot a repeat thief, and has got away with it, they locked up a limping thief for seven years.

Now my problem is, 12 bore, .22, or the big .270, or as Kenny Everet use to say, "put them all in a field, and bomb the BAST@~$S" :twisted:
