South Yorkshire are receiving an increasing number of crimes involving quads. In particular where quads are being used with trailers to commit theft. Even full kitchens from building sites have been taken using this method.

Doncaster in particular are seeing a spike in fuel thefts using quads with trailers similar to the ones shown in the photos.

These examples have been seized recently from offenders.

Most of this activity happens during darkness hours and their routes are mainly off road so out of sight of the public.
