On Sunday 29th March, heartless thieves broke into The Myton Hospices Coventry base and stole a white Ford transit van, and ransacked the premises, in the third break in in just 15 months.

Kenilworth based Sure-Track (part of Radius Telematics), recovered the stolen van on Wednesday 1st April in Coventry, and reunited it with the owners of The Myton Hospices.

In these challenging times, you can be sure of one thing…thieves will never fail to take their opportunity in times of uncertainty.

Despite a nation on lockdown, we’re still seeing high levels of theft. With construction sites closing and whole fleets grounded to a halt, don't let the fear of theft become another concern.

Did you know, a van is broken into every 23 minutes in the UK? With a huge market for second hand tools, the contents of a van can be a goldmine for thieves, which is why van security is a crucial topic to address.

The impact of van theft is massive. Many van owners suffer from a loss of work, which in turn can lead to an impact on their business reputation. This teamed with the stress of replacing stolen goods, dealing with insurance claims and rising premiums, leaves van owners and businesses in a troublesome position. Trades people are calling it an "epidemic" that is destroying their livelihoods.
