RHA warns that haulage fleets being targeted for theft
Monday, February 8th, 2010The Road Haulage Association has warned that hauliers have been hit by a nationwide crime wave with thieves stealing vehicle batteries across the UK.
Chrys Rampley, RHA security manager said,”Everyone working in the transport industry should be extra vigilant. Thieves are cutting through the security fences at transport depots to steal batteries, which I am told have a current market value of £350 a tonne and there have been reports of thefts from around the country. We are working with the police – both individual forces and the national co-ordinating body Truckpol – to combat the problem”.
