The Plant Theft Problem
Unbelievably - recent figures suggest that approximately £1 million worth of Plant & Construction machinery is stolen every week in the UK. And what’s even more disturbing about this massive problem is that approximately only 5% of this machinery is ever recovered!
Evidence suggests that the majority of these thefts are conducted by organized criminal networks that infiltrate construction sites with theft as their sole objective. Such networks not only cause significant losses to the Construction Industry but can also de-stabilise and disrupt major building projects.
The unfortunate victims of plant theft can incur considerable and unwanted costs including the cost of a replacement machine and potentially, the short-medium term hire of similar equipment. In addition to this cost, there could be increased annual Insurance premiums as well as significant loss of productivity and time which often results in financial and commercial penalties including all of the stress and aggravation suffered when dealing with the theft.
This issue of theft has been a concern for years within the Industry, but with the changing demands placed on the Police Service with their specialist resources directed elsewhere unfortunately, the location, identification and recovery rates of stolen plant remain dismally low. However, this is all about to change - with the introduction of the CESAR Scheme.
