Last week, VIN CHIP’s Nick Mayell partnered with Kent police to deliver specialised training aimed at combating machinery theft. Nick worked closely with Kent’s port police and agricultural crime specialists, offering detailed guidance on identifying plant machinery and equipment. A highlight of the session was a masterclass on identifying Ifor Williams trailers, a frequent target for thieves.
The training paid off immediately when officer PC Amy White used her newly gained knowledge to identify a stolen trailer on her very next shift.
“It’s always rewarding to share my 36 years of experience, especially when it delivers results so quickly,” Nick Mayell said.
Reflecting on her discovery, PC Amy White, who patrols rural areas and deals with theft-related crimes, said, “The training gave me the confidence to spot the tell-tale signs. I was able to quickly confirm the trailer was stolen, this training has made a difference in my approach.”
Sergeant Ross Haybourne, who organised the session, added, “The training was invaluable, equipping officers with the skills and confidence to act decisively. This recovery is just the start.”
