Investigations are continuing
Four stolen caravans have been recovered by Nottinghamshire Police after being found close to a small cannabis grow. The caravans were stolen from a Lincolnshire site on January 2 after offenders broke in through a fence.
Enquiries carried out by Bassetlaw Reacher team led officers to a site near the A1 on Blyth Road, Harworth. A drone was deployed and the stolen caravans were spotted and recovered. A small cannabis grow was also discovered and removed from the site. Investigations are currently ongoing.PC Paul Henson, of Nottinghamshire Police’s drones team, said: “This is another good example of how we can use our drones to assist in criminal investigations. On this occasion we were able to confirm officers’ suspicions by getting a bird’s eye view of this site and finding exactly what we were looking for.
In addition to police drones being used to find missing vehicles, they can also be used for crowd control, searching for missing people and tracking down criminal suspects. Inspector Hayley Crawford, district commander for Bassetlaw, said: “My team and I police a very large rural area and we are working hard to deny criminals the use of our road network and our open spaces.
“We currently have more resources at our disposal than we have had for a very long time, and as this case demonstrates we are using those resources very effectively.” Anyone with additional information is asked to call 101, quoting incident 305 of 3 January 2023.
