CITS SAYS STAY ALERT!!!

CITS are appealing to equipment dealers, plant hire companies and to the whole industry to stay alert!!

Geith Warehouse in Deeside, outside Liverpool have echoed this alert after they were broken into on Friday evening (22nd May). Police believe this may have been a 'steal to order' heist, targeting high value hydraulic hitches and tilt hitches as well as buckets and other excavator attachments. Police said the main door was rammed, likely by a large articulated lorry seen on site and the offices were also targeted for keys, with on-site forklifts used to select and load as at least one 40 foot trailer. The warehouse, racking and forklifts were all badly damaged and police are examining on-site video and some evidence left behind.

With many companies still closed due to the COVID outbreak, CITS are appealing to the industry to stay alert!
