Kent cops hunt owners of stolen goods found in illegal dump raid!

Stolen vehicles and gear seized in Dartford crackdown

Kent Police’s Rural Task Force swooped on Darenth Wood Road, Dartford, on Friday 21 June 2024. They acted after reports of illegal waste processing, environmental damage, and anti-social behaviour.

The raid was backed by Dartford Council, Sevenoaks District Council, the Environment Agency, National Highways, and HM Revenue & Customs.

Recovered loot includes motorhome, quad bike and more

Officers seized several suspected stolen vehicles and equipment, including a motorhome, a John Deere Gator, a towable generator, and loads of car parts. However, two items remain unclaimed: a white compressor and a red Honda quad bike.

Can you prove these items are yours?

The police want owners to come forward – but you’ll need proof. Think serial numbers, receipts, or any unique features that prove ownership. If you recognise the quad bike or compressor, now’s the time to act.
