Help the police catch the engine thieves

Following the theft of three Rotax 912s engines from Otherton, the Staffordshire police are considering a coordinated nationwide investigation. Many of you know this is not the first theft of engines in recent months. Up to now each force has dealt with each incident locally. DNA evidence has now been obtained. If the police can collate all the evidence from all the crimes through out the country the chances of catching and prosecuting the perpetrators is increased. It’s up to us in the flying community to do what we can to help. Can anyone who knows of similar engine thefts occurring in the last 12 months please let me know when, where and any other details. I will collate this information and pass it on to the police.

Thanks
Graham

Please post the S/N of the engines & equipment that has been taken, If it comes into my sight I will first tie wrap the seller to the hangar wall supports and then call the police.
