Fishing Tackle Theft


Garden and shed theft has steadily been on the rise over the last year. From bikes to garden flowers, nothing left outside is off limits for these criminals.  The news over July has highlighted the theft of fishing tackle in various parts of the country. If you are a keen fisher you will know that this equipment is expensive, making it very appealing to thieves. In Spilsby a shed was broken into and various pieces of fishing tackle were stolen. Thieves in Weymouth broke into a garden shed and stole £6,000 worth of fishing equipment and again in Norwich a shed break in resulted in fishing tackle being stolen.


All of these thefts had one thing in common, the fishing equipment was stored in a garden shed. Local police are warning people of shed and garage break-ins. If you do store expensive items in your shed it is important to invest in security, as well as marking valuables so that if they do get stolen they will be easier to find. For information on marking your valuables and registering them on the UK National Property register, visit Immobilise.
