This was posted by OPJim said:Had a phone call from Swindon Police today, a CID came to my work and took a statement formerly as it seems they did checks later and found the Reg was false for the Van. The scrotes fit the description of three wanted for a variety of offences across the South from Sussex to Bristol. Some of the offences involve quite serious violence against people who tried to stop them stealing stuff from remote houses and farms.
The Officer stated that these people are considered very dangerous and should not be tackled by members of the public, we should simply call the Police and let them deal with it. He and his colleague feel that had I not turned into a road they could not follow me on, when I stopped they would have either stolen the vehicle after I parked it, or based on their history he thinks it entirely possible they would have attacked me to get the keys.
Based on what they said this afternoon I think it is imperative that everyone warn Land Rover owners, and possibly owners of other large 4x4's, to be vigilant and report any and all suspicious activity around their or a friends/neighbours vehicle..especially Ladies and older drivers who may be seen as a softer target. The Officers also said that it is highly likely that the Reg No of the Van will have been changed by now as it is believed they change plates regularly.
I think I can count myself lucky..
