A caravan stolen from Germany has been recovered in West Berkshire following an international investigation involving Thames Valley Police, INTERPOL and specialist vehicle theft officers. The stolen caravan was seized by officers from Thames Valley Police’s Rural Crime Taskforce after it was identified as being suspicious during patrols in West Berkshire, close to the Wiltshire border.
Specialist Investigation Traced Caravan to Germany
Following the recovery, specialist officers launched enquiries to establish the vehicle’s origins. Working alongside INTERPOL and the National Construction and Agriculture Theft Team (NCATT), investigators were able to trace the caravan’s history. The enquiries confirmed the caravan had been stolen in Germany before making its way to the UK.
International Partnership Tackles Vehicle Theft
The recovery forms part of the Rural Crime Taskforce’s ongoing efforts to combat vehicle, machinery and equipment theft across the Thames Valley. Officers regularly work with both national and international law enforcement agencies to identify stolen property and return it to its rightful owners.
