Battery Thieves Target Lorries-Police Warn Drivers
FLINT, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - March 9, 2010) - A leading broker specialising in lorry insurance has condemned a recent rise in thefts of lorry batteries around the UK. The thieves target vehicles which are parked up in lorry compounds for the night, cutting through the steel fences of the compounds and breaking in to cut through the battery mounts and take batteries from large numbers of lorries. A tonne will fetch on average £350. The thefts have taken place in a number of depots around the country and police have warned lorry drivers and haulage firms to be vigilant.
