I wonder if this is the same ranger?  " They said they were looking for scrap metal and batteries. "

Definitely is. 

I had a phone call today from my local copper - they have pinged the cctv to an adress up country where it seems the owner of the vehicle is in "for a chat" with cid on a possibly unrelated matter, so devon and cornwall police are going to piggyback their enquiries onto that - so I will be updated next month.....

@Big Jmay be able to help

I’m sure the police will look into this as the evidence appears very strong (though I’ve been seriously disappointed by their lack of investigative efforts in the past, so who knows?!...). 

Last month I was pulled over by an ANPR camera equipped car on the M62 near Manchester - my vehicle had triggered an alert for the driver to stop me (incredible technology imo - the police car was travelling in the slow lane and I was passing in the fast lane in really heavy traffic). 

Apparently Thames Valley Police have put a marker on my truck as it was suspected in a theft from a construction site in Berkshire (we cover a large area but I’ve not been down there). I had a good chat with the officer and it turned out that on the date in question I was on holiday abroad - I have cctv of my pickup parked on the drive at home at the time, it didn’t turn a wheel for a fortnight. 

It would appear that some pikey has possibly cloned my number-plate and is using another white Navara for thieving purposes. That in itself isn’t really noteworthy - what I was impressed by was the fact that the police are looking into it (nationally and across forces). 

.....And that is exactly what I suspect is the case here, cloned plates on another red ranger....... But time will tell. 

We'll see how it plays out. They do actually seem interested in building a case so hopefully something positive will happen. Thanks Jonathan for posting this. I've actually been a member on here for years, but very rarely do I visit!
