This week, BBC News and other outlets have reported a scam in which £500,000 construction machinery were stolen. Scammers represented themselves as a legitimate construction company and had the machinery delivered to addresses in Surrey between 14 and 21 January.
The police are appealing for witnesses who saw a large amount of machinery being towed in the areas of Shepperton, Chertsey and Virginia Water. The machinery included, a three-tonne dumper and a 17-tonne excavator - which itself was worth £185,000.
Police have released CCTV images of two men they want to speak to in connection with the incident. Do you know these people?
