Spotlight on crime

Arc-Gen, an exhibitor at the SED construction show, had £18,500 worth of kit stolen from its stand.

As well as exhibiting, Arc-Gen supplies the lighting towers for SED and did not pick up its display until the Monday after the show. However, on the day before (Sunday 23 May) thieves broke into the show, broke the chains securing the gear and escaped. They might have got away with more if they had been able to start the forklift they broke into on the Haki stand.

If you are offered the following kit, please contact Andy Munford on 01902 790824 or e-mail him at sales@arcgen.freeserve.co.uk.
