Efforts to tackle HGV crime at known hot spots in Yorkshire are ramping up in the run-up to Christmas, with police acknowledging it was a time of heightened risk.
Officers from the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit (YHROCU) have teamed up with NaVCIS to mount increased activity at identified places across the region.
As part of the campaign, officers are running driver engagement evenings alongside increased overt and covert activity during the evenings at HGV parking sites.
A similar operation in the summer saw six people arrested in raids at addresses in Leeds as part of an investigation into organised theft of cargo from lorries.
