car parts theft on the increase

I knew that cars that are stolen end up being broken up for spares and the parts going abroad by the container load. The police raided a big operation near Wembley Stadium last year that was doing it on an industrial scale.

 

This however looks like the parts are being stolen to repair other cars

They say they think it might be connected with a proximity to the Vauxhall plant at Luton but I would suggest it may have more to do with its proximity to the huge Universal Salvage site at Redbourn where they auction write offs

Nope. That place went years ago. Now a gated housing estate.
