Police have seized four stolen vehicles yesterday (30 May) as part of the pre-Appleby Horse Fair policing operation.
The vehicles – a car, two horse boxes and a wood-chipper - all found to be stolen, were seized by officers who continue to work with the National Stolen Vehicle team as part of the pre-fair operation.
Detective Superintendent Dan St Quintin, GOLD Commander for Appleby Horse Fair, said: “We make no apologies for targeting criminality as part of this operation.
“Many of those attending the Fair are law abiding citizens; however, we will not hesitate to take action where we find vehicles to be stolen.
"Appleby Horse Fair is the Constabulary's largest annual policing operation and the public can expect officers to carry out necessary checks and act where they see offences, without fear or favour and regardless of which community the individual belongs to."
