• Hauliers could be facing an upsurge in attacks by organised gangs of thieves following the uncovering of a new tyre spiking device, The device, a modified coach bolt ground to a chisel edge, leaves vehicies with a delayed puncture — making drivers vulnerable to roadside attacks.
Three such devices have ben found in the Midlands area in the past week alone.
The Road Haulage Association urges all hauliers to check tyres before driving any vehicle which has been left unattended: "Drivers should be told that if they see a bolt head in a deflating tyre, it is possible their load has been targeted by thieves. They should there fore on no account leave their vehicles un
attended," it says. LI C Stennett and Sons is offering a "substantial" reward for the return of two tractors stolen from its Ing
ham, Suffolk depot on 11 February. The Mercedes-Benz 1625 (registration C436 EKX) and the ERF E14 (registration E37 OCL) both have a blue and white livery with "Stennett's Transport" written on their sides. Contact Malcolm Stennett on (0284) 848834.
