“In recent weeks there have been a number of crimes including burglary, theft from vehicles and other theft offences reported in the villages around this site.

“We have followed up a number of investigation opportunities which have steered our focus back towards individuals as this site. officers searching the site have recovered significant amount of what we believe to be stolen property which we will try and reunite with victims in due course.
