Rose Brook from Marian Bach phoned to say she had 'travellers' enquiring after any scrap metal Friday 29th January. She noted the registration of the Bedford type lorry with crane they were driving YH06DZY. Please be vigilant. 30th Jan 2010 * There have been several yard break-ins on the Wirral- one attempted theft of a trailer (saved by bulldog lock) in Thingwall and one actually taken from Irby last week. Some copper cabling was also taken from another yard in Thingwall. There have been several horses shot in their fields overnight recently in Landican, one poor horse was shot several times. They are being treated by the vet and the police are investigating as best they can. There was a pony shot in its field several weeks ago on the Chester High Road, also being treated by the vet. Just want people to be aware there are some sick idiots on the prowl and report any suspicious behaviour. Rachel 19/9/09 ***

Just to inform everyone. Heather Shepherd 28/4/08 Apparently there is a white ford transit van registration N810 DKL doing the rounds locally where there are horses/stables! It may be that they are looking to steal riding tack and equipment. If you see this one hanging around or acting suspiciously it may be prudent to inform the police of its location. 13/3/08 On Sunday, 2nd March 2008 between 2.15pm & 5.15pm, thieves stole 6 saddles and bridles from a small riding school near Ruthin whilst the owner was out on a hack. Please take every precaution to prevent this happening to you. Our yard was passed by a white van with gardening written on side. That night our quad and tools were stolen. They were retrieved from nearby, neighbours had motor bikes stolen. Lesley Sutherland 6/3/08 With regard to the "tinkers" who seem to be around at the moment, we also have had several visits from three men in a white van looking firstly for scrap, and then again for stabling, and lastly to buy puppies! Obviously keeping their options open! They have also approached a neighbour who has two heavy youngsters in a field with the offer to purchase them - perhaps they are honorable afterall?!! Having said that, her stables were ransacked and valuable objects stolen. We are situated near to the back of Chester Zoo. Lauren Povey 6/3/08 White van man looking for scrap metal and eyeing up Marian Bach!! Van number BK51 NYP. Rose 3/3/08 TINKERS AGAIN.....Had a call yesterday from Maggie who said 2 girls in Rhuddlan had been approached by them in a white pickup and I was out riding this morning here in St Asaph and they came past me very slowly staring at Tomos but I didn't catch number as it was belting with rain and my specs needed wipers on! TRAILER THEFTS >>>>>>>> Two Ifor Williams trailers (one 505 and one 510, both blue and relatively new) were stolen from a yard in Barrow, near Chester on 10th January. Both were locked at the hitch and had wheel locks fitted, which the thieves managed to break off. Two trailers were also stolen from another yard nearby a couple of weeks before this. Please be vigilant and think about how accessible your own trailer is. Also, if you are offered a second-hand blue Ifor Williams trailer and are suspicious as to its origins, I would very much appreciate it if you noted down the unique identification number (etched onto the chassis) and passed it onto me via the riding club. It's also a good idea to make your own trailer instantly identifiable in some way, for example by painting something onto the outside - apart from having a reversing mirror drilled onto the front, I now realise mine is identical to every other blue Ifor Williams on the road and therefore very difficult to recover! Chrissy Stanley 12/1/08 I live in Llysfaen Colwyn Bay, I have just had 2 Irish males trying to sell me a power washer ( 1.40pm Monday 12th November), they were in a White transit type van reg 02-2C-2145. They were taking quite an interest in my stable yard. I have reported them to the Police and mine was the 2nd report, the first being off an off duty Police Officer this morning on the Rhuddlan Road, Abergele. Just thought you might like to let as many people as possible know. Regards, Joan Wood 12/11/07 Hi All, just to let everyone know that there may be horse thieves up nr Dear All, Tuesday 4th Sept. White van in Llanfynydd, man approached house owner selling pressure washers. Wed night late - 5th Sept - Returning home late equestrian home owner found 2 irish men in red car, they ran off. Further details will follow when I know more - have been alerted by text, Pat Update 1847hrs 4/9/07 Top end Conwy Valley by Tal-Y-Cafn Irish man driving blue transit van turned up at Hendre Bach Farm, Abergele on Saturday evening, said he was selling pressure washers and generators - this alarmed me to say the least! I put a flea in his ear so to speak, and he drove off quite quickly! Managed to write down his reg LS54 WAU, (he had a likeness for Willy Tilly!), I remembered seeing a blue van that morning parked opposite the entrance of the farm. Thought it best let everyone know, I have informed the police. Vicky Brennan 4/9/07 Horse thieves visited Dyfnog Stud 9/7/07 Just had phone call from Jenny Frost who in turn had been contacted by a lady in Dolwen near ABERGELE that Irish people had called at her cattery trying to sell pressure washers, she informed the Police.
