This national scheme brings law enforcement and Industry together to enhance intelligence sharing and analysis, build effective networks to implement and coordinate projects that are designed to target offenders and prevent vehicle crime from occurring. The NVCRP would welcome the opportunity to discuss and support partnership-based crime prevention ideas and opportunities.

News
The National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP) is pleased to highlight the success of its collaboration with South Yorkshire Police in the ongoing fight against serious and organised vehicle crime. Through a joint effort, NVCRP Project Lead, Mark Kameen, worked closely with Chief Inspector James Bennett from Rotherham’s Command Team to secure funding for the training of two South Yorkshire Police officers as Qualified Stolen Vehicle Examiners (QSVE). The NVCRP recognises the invaluable contribution of the QSVE qualification in enhancing police capabilities to combat organised vehicle crime. Within just four weeks of completing the training, the newly qualified officers conducted six vehicle examinations, identifying approximately £80,000 worth of stolen vehicles. Among the vehicles identified were a Nissan Juke, stolen from the West Midlands, an Audi RS6, stolen through burglary from the Metropolitan Police area, and a Nissan Navara, stolen in South Yorkshire. These results demonstrate the vital role that trained vehicle examiners play in identifying and recovering stolen vehicles, contributing significantly to reducing vehicle crime. In addition to the training success, South Yorkshire Police has been actively engaging in intensification work around organised vehicle crime. This has led to the execution of numerous warrants across the region, uncovering stolen property and parts linked to criminal activity. Notable recoveries include five plates from stolen vehicles, a stolen tractor unit, and a Luton lorry with cloned plates. Furthermore, police-led activity at a ‘chop shop’ uncovered hundreds of thousands of pounds’ worth of Audi parts, while another chop shop led to the recovery of stolen Range Rover parts. Additional seizures included £200,000 worth of stolen chocolate, £1,000 of stolen workwear, and £8,000 worth of stolen Toshiba printer cartridges, alongside a stolen Sprinter lorry. The NVCRP is proud to have supported South Yorkshire Police in these important activities, highlighting the strength of partnership working in tackling organised vehicle crime. As Mark Kameen, NVCRP Project Lead, stated, "It was a pleasure to work with and support Chief Inspector Bennett in his efforts to enhance South Yorkshire’s response to vehicle crime. The challenge of tackling serious and organised vehicle crime cannot be overstated, and only through a collaborative and partnership-based approach will we see tangible impacts that benefit victims, communities, and businesses across the UK." This success story underscores the significant progress that can be made when organisations like the NVCRP and local police forces collaborate to address the complex issue of vehicle crime. The NVCRP remains committed to supporting law enforcement partners across the country in their efforts to reduce vehicle crime, protect communities, and dismantle organised criminal networks.

The National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP) is proud to announce its recent participation in a critical meeting at Europol’s headquarters in The Hague, joining law enforcement partners from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Europol, and Interpol to tackle the growing issue of organised vehicle crime. Representing the UK were Project Lead for the NVCRP, Mark Kameen, and Sharon Naughton, Head of the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS), who together delivered a joint presentation focused on efforts to identify, disrupt, and prevent the export of stolen vehicles at UK ports. This international collaboration underscores the global scale of vehicle crime, which is a serious and organised criminal activity. The meeting allowed partners from across Europe to discuss shared challenges, tactics, and best practices in combatting vehicle thefts, whether they involve cars, motorcycles, plant, or agricultural machinery. The NVCRP and NaVCIS highlighted the ongoing work in the UK to disrupt the flow of stolen vehicles, stressing the importance of a united, global approach to this complex issue. The NVCRP, in partnership with NaVCIS and Opal, are organising a UK Problem Solving Summit, which will focus specifically on the export of stolen vehicles from UK ports, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss solutions and strategies to prevent, disrupt and detect this criminal activity. Mark Kameen, Project Lead for the NVCRP said “The NVCRP is proud to be involved in both the UK and international efforts to tackle vehicle crime. By working closely with law enforcement partners around the world, we are exploring opportunities to build upon current working practices in how we combat the organised criminal networks responsible for this type of crime. Together, we are reviewing opportunities around sharing intelligence, deploying advanced tactics, and setting best practices to protect communities and businesses from the growing threat of vehicle theft”. This meeting served as a reminder that vehicle crime is a global issue, and only through international collaboration can we begin to stem the tide of stolen vehicles leaving the UK and beyond. The NVCRP remains committed to working with partners in the UK and internationally to disrupt and dismantle the criminal networks behind these crimes.

The National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP) is proud to highlight the continued success of collaborative efforts with West Midlands Police to combat vehicle crime across the region. This week, three individuals, including two teenage boys, were arrested in connection with stolen motorbikes and a suspected firearm incident in Northfield, Birmingham. The operation, which resulted in the seizure of two stolen motorbikes, was made possible thanks to prompt action by West Midlands Police officers, who responded swiftly after receiving reports from concerned members of the public. Two boys, aged 14 and 15, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and theft of motor vehicles. Whilst no firearm was found, investigations are ongoing. The NVCRP played a key role in this operation by providing vital funding to support the ongoing fight against vehicle crime in the region. This is part of our continued commitment to working closely with police forces, motoring industry partners and HM Government to address the organised vehicle crime across the UK. In a separate operation, officers working in Birmingham's Edgbaston, Ladywood, and Jewellery Quarter areas arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with vehicle break-ins, following community concerns about a recent surge in vehicle crime. The NVCRP's support for these efforts remains crucial as we work together to address the root causes of organised vehicle crime and make communities safer. The NVCRP is proud of the collaboration between law enforcement and local communities, and we remain committed to supporting police forces in tackling vehicle crime. Together, we are making a real difference in reducing vehicle-related crime and protecting our communities. For more information about West Midlands Police and their work with the NVCRP, click here
