Officers seek to reunite suspected stolen items with owners

The rightful owners of two suspected stolen items recovered by Kent Police’s Rural Task Force are being sought.

On Friday 21 June 2024 the team entered land in Darenth Wood Road, Dartford, following reports of illegal waste processing, environmental damage and anti-social behaviour.

They were assisted by colleagues from Dartford Council, Sevenoaks District Council, the Environment Agency, National Highways and His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

While at the site officers seized several suspected stolen vehicles including a motorhome, John Deere Gator, towable generator and multiple car parts.

Since the stolen items were recovered officers have worked hard to reunite them with their rightful owners, but have so far been unable to identify who owns a white compressor and a red Honda quad bike.

Anyone who believes the items belong to them will need to ensure they can show proof of ownership, such as providing information about identifying features, serial numbers and receipts.

As part of the ongoing work partner agencies are continuing to progress their enquiries into the other suspected illegal activities at the site.

Anyone with information should call 01474 366149 quoting reference 13-0815.
