Over £120,000 of stolen goods has been seized after a raid on a caravan park in Ryton-on-Dunsmore.

Officers from four different forces executed a warrant at Woodside Caravan Park on Wednesday, June 22 as part of an investigation into stolen vehicles.

As well as £19,000 in cash seized as suspected proceeds of crime, several stolen caravans, "a plethora of cloned vehicles", stolen machinery and stolen camping equipment was recovered.

Inspector Allison Wiggin said: "It is important to show the communities of Warwickshire and our surrounding areas, that we will take action against those believed to be involved in criminal acts and endeavour to bring them to justice.

"Nowhere is out of bounds, and we hope to provide the reassurance through our continued actions that we will make Warwickshire a safe place to live."

During the warrant, officers provided reassurance to other residents of the site, with many of them being supportive of the investigation.

Officers also thanked teams from Thames Valley Police, Northamptonshire Police, Leicestershire Police, and Warwickshire Police's OPU.

Warwickshire Rural Crime Team says it has recovered £400,000 in stolen goods between June 20 and June 27.
