FRAUDULENT HIRE IN THE WEST MIDLANDS AREA
On Thursday 16th January 2025 NCATT intercepted a confirmed fraudulent hire of two telehandlers and a large amount of brand-new Harris-fencing to a location in the area of Dudley , West Midlands.
The telehandlers and £50,000 worth of track matting have been recovered, however, NCATT are struggling to identify who the Harris fencing belongs to. There’s a suggestion it may have come from the Sheffield area and delivered to Dudley.
The fencing has the following identification on:
1. Blue plastic tags on each bundle of Harris fencing (40 in a bundle) with 143917B DUDLEY on each tag and around 20 bundles.
2. Stamped serial number on each fence (hard to make out) but may read 2G1142142
3. Bases have 7523 and 76g.5 on white tags on each pallet. 12 pallets in total.
If you believe the Harris fencing belongs to your business please contact the team at NCATT; ncatt@northumbria.police.uk
