Police have seized 10 stolen caravans and a horsebox – worth £300,000 in total – in co-ordinated raids in Sussex and Surrey.
Sussex Police said: “Police seized 10 stolen caravans and a horsebox in a co-ordinated swoop on properties near Horsham and in Cranleigh.
“The stolen vehicles, worth nearly £300,000, will be returned to their owners who live as far away as Northumbria.”
Detective Chief Inspector Kay Hutchings said: “Proactive action taken earlier this week led to this timely co-ordinated operation, with a warrant initially carried out by Sussex Police’s Rural Crime Team and Tactical Enforcement Unit.
“This led to six stolen caravans being seized at a property near Horsham on Thursday (15 May).
“On the same day, the officers went on to support Surrey Police in Cranleigh to seize a further four stolen caravans and a horsebox.
“Our investigation into the stolen property at these locations continues as we look towards reuniting owners, as far afield as Warwickshire and Northumbria, with their caravans.”
