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.
