Officers from Northamptonshire Police Rural Crime Team would like to highlight the rise in Theft of Tools from Van's across the county. It would appear in some cases that the offenders are getting past the factory Installed alarms and entering the Van's with no signs of entry. Consideration for Secondary PIR alarms in the rear of Van's, not linked to the vehicles systems, would be encouraged as these can notify you straight away should persons be detected and a faster responce can be achieved in the hope of apprehending these individuals. Consider how your tools are marked up to make them identifiable to You. Not just your initials. The removal of tools is always advisable but we are fully aware that this isn't always achievable.
