AWARNING on possible changes in the pattern of vehicle thefts has been given by Mr. J. T. Brown (Atlas Express Ltd., London), chairman of the Vehicle Security Committee. In the third quarter of 1966 there were 1,033 cases of theft of and from commercial goods vehicles in the Metropolitan Police district. This total is about the same as that for the same period in the three previous years, and there has been no significant increase in the value of the goods stolen.
In the third quarter of 1966 there were only four cases of hi-jacking involving a loss of £24,800 as against 13 cases involving £164,000 in the third quarter of 1965.
