STOLEN MACHINES RECOVERED IN SW ENGLAND
The team at NCATT has recovered a number of items of missing plant equipment – stolen from locations all over the country but found on sites in the South West of England.
Two machines were on cloned IDs, the true identify of them being as follows:
- Manitou 2019 model serial number 1014554
- Avant 635 Serial number 877191804
Unfortunately the CESAR registration on both machines were not updated so the NCATT team has only managed to track down the first owner of the Manitou, not the current owners. Avant do not hold records of who they sold their machine to.
If you recognise these as your machines from the images below, please contact the team at ncatt@ncatt.police.uk quoting ‘Op ALCHEMY’, and providing proof of ownership.
