IN the first quarter of this year there was a slight improvement in the number of reported cases of thefts of and from commercial goods vehicles in the Metropolitan Police district compared with the same period in the three preceding years—although the value of the goods stolen was slightly higher than average since 1962.
The accompanying statistics covering the first quarter of each of the past four years were reported on Tuesday at a meeting of the vehicles security committee of the Road Haulage Association.
It was also reported that vehicles carrying loads worth £44,240 were hijacked in the district during the first quarter of this year compared with £34,100 in 1964.
