After 8 years, 35 vehicles, original value over £6million were returned from Thailand following Op Titanium. These were obtained on fraudulent finance and within a few days were shipped to Bangkok. It took years of work and fantastic assistance from Thai authorities.

This stolen Audi RS7 and Range Rover Sport worth a total of over £90K were successfully seized when spotted amongst several vehicles on a transporter ready to be exported from the U.K. Partnership work with the @portdoverpolice led to their recovery. @_F_L_A

Two more stolen Toyota Hi-Lux recovered and prevented from leaving the UK. BMW i4 in the sandwich too. All returned to grateful insurers.

The third and final container today was bound for Togo in Africa. The cars at the front were on the manifest but the two SUVs hidden at the back (including another one suspended from the top) were not. Another great result. #OpAllies #VehicleCrime #CarCrime #Felixstowe

[NaVCIS @NaVCIS_UK]

Container one not only had chopped parts from four different cars but also two entire cars stashed at the back, including one suspended near the front wheels to fit another car underneath. The two intact cars alone are worth over £100k. #OpAllies

This first container is heading for Port of Jebul Ali in Dubai. Immediately, we can see cut and wrapped sections of vehicles. NaVCIS officers will search for and check the VIN numbers to find out where and when these cars were stolen.

(599) Stolen Bmw GS 1250 adventure taken from Brentford Hounslow London last night. We recovered it within 20 minutes. We had to wake the owner up to tell him his bike had been taken. But he was so happy to get it back. Sadly that’s the fourth time he’s had a bike stolen. ☹️

The rider of this Sur Ron electric motorcycle thought he could ride dangerously through the city, pulling wheelies and riding on the pavement. He was introduced into the front of one of our new Volvos and arrested. He was already disqualified and wanted by Police in Scotland.

“I’ve been a police officer for 18 years. I never expected to be deliberately rammed off my motorbike in such a violent and aggressive act.”

⚖️ On Wednesday, Ward was jailed for four years.
