Stolen Caravans Seized In Police Operation

Police seized 10 stolen caravans and a horsebox in a co-ordinated swoop on properties near Horsham and in Cranleigh.

The stolen vehicles, worth nearly £300,000, will be returned to their owners who live as far away as Northumbria.

Detective Chief Inspector Kay Hutchings said:

“Proactive action taken earlier this week led to this timely co-ordinated operation, with a warrant initially carried out by the Sussex Police’s Rural Crime Team and Tactical Enforcement Unit.

"This led to six stolen caravans being seized at a property near Horsham on Thursday (15 May).

“On the same day, the officers went on to support Surrey Police in Cranleigh to seize a further four stolen caravans and a horsebox.

“Our investigation into the stolen property at these locations continues as we look towards reuniting owners, as far afield as Warwickshire and Northumbria, with their caravans.”
