Residents in the vicinity of aircraft / airfields:
Officers are investigating reports of thefts of aircraft engines which took place in South Devon overnight 13 / 14 June 2017.
We are asking for all residents/businesses in the vicinity of aircraft / airfields in Devon and Cornwall to please make observations for any suspicious activity.
If you see any suspicious activity, please contact the Police on 999 if offenders are still in the area at the time of your call, please make a note of registrations and descriptions. If you have any information please phone 101 quoting crime CR/047200/17.
Aircraft owners:
We ask all owners of Rotax-powered aircraft and airfields in general to double up on their security. Some engines have been 'clinically' removed’, others have caused damage to airframes that have led to them being written-off.
It is recommended that owners consider a PIR alarm linked through to a mobile phone and if possible CCTV that can be viewed remotely at the storage facility (hanger) as well as CCTV covering the approaches/entrance and images recorded and downloads available to be viewed.
If you see any suspicious activity around an airfield, please contact the Police on 999 if offenders are still in the area at the time of your call. If you have any information please phone 101 quoting crime CR/047200/17.
Please pass this information on to those it may be relevant to.
Thank you
