Police warning after series of motorhome thefts

Officers believe motorhomes are being targeted in a series of linked thefts

Police have issued a warning to motorhome owners in Perthshire after a series of thefts earlier this week.

Four motorhomes – two Fiat Ducatos, a Benimar Mileo and a Fiat Trigano – were stolen in Monifeith, Invergowrie and Crieff between Tuesday and Friday.

Police Scotland said three of the vehicles were recovered in the Tayside area and inquiries into the thefts were ongoing.

There are similarities between each case and officers believe they are linked.

The vehicles were taken from Lorne Street, Monifieth, Sauchie Road and Foyers Way in Crieff and Errol Road in Invergowrie.

Det Insp Simon Murray said: “I would urge anyone who believes they may have any information or who had seen any suspicious behaviour to get in touch.

“We would also urge anyone with a motorhome to be aware and vigilant against the risk of thefts.

“If you have a garage, I strongly recommend you use it to secure your vehicle out of sight."
