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”.
