Caravan owners in Cambridgeshire have been advised to take extra care following a spate of recent thefts in the Fenland region.
Highlighting the need for vigilance and caravan anti-theft measures, local police have confirmed that caravans and equipment worth £20,000 have been stolen from homes over the past week alone.
As well as a Swift Charisma touring caravan, an Avante 534 was also taken from a driveway in the area, prompting Fenland Police community safety manager Trevor Bracken to advise owners to “rethink their security”.
“They should consider installing tracking equipment which helps police trace their caravan if it is stolen,” he told Fenland Today.
“Post coding is recommended and can aid the identification of a stolen caravan.”
Meanwhile, England football captain Rio Ferdinand has told the Times that, rather than jetting off to the Caribbean, he enjoys taking his family on caravan holidays within England and Wales.
