Operation Tractor A49 4

Nantwich Police have hailed an operation targeting rural crime along the A49 corridor a big success.

Operation Tractor saw 10 vehicles taken off the road, red diesel seized and enforcement tickets issued for motoring offences.

Sgt Ian Bennett, of Nantwich Police, said the operation was coordinated and carried out to show rural crime will not be tolerated.

Officers joined forces with other agencies such as Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and Customs and Excise.

In total, 29 vehicles were stopped and 10 “Immediate Prohibitions” carried out.

DVSA officers carried out immediate maintenance on vehicles before they could restart their journey.

Defective tyres and brakes were also discovered.

“This actually meant some drivers having to call out emergency tyre companies,” said Sgt Bennett.

Four advisory notices for vehicle defects were handed out, and a bulk of red fuel was seized by Customs and Excise.

One vehicle was seized for having no insurance and only a provisional licence older.

And one HGV driver had no CPC Certificate Professional Competence.

In total, eight traffic enforcement tickets were issued to motorists for various moving traffic offences.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
