The Plant Theft Action Group plans for most machines in the UK to be registered by 2010 in order to
By Darren Wise
All plant could be registered by 2010 if a plan put forward by the Plant Theft Action Group (PTAG) is accepted by the Home Office Cheap Tigers Jerseys , which is likely. The Home Office and police are increasingly concerned about the theft of Plant machinery in the build up to the 2012 Olympic Games in Britain.
Machines used on sites connected with the Olympic Games will have to be registered with a central database and carry stickers showing their identity number. Police will then be able to quickly search for a complete record of the machines details, 24 hours a day. People can also check with the directory that they are not buying stolen goods.
It is hoped that the scheme is widely adopted and a specialist Police plant theft unit is to be set up to target organised criminals. As with most specialist units, the unit will eventually be funded by confiscated money and property from those convicted.
A central database is to be created by a data handling company, which will issue a unique plant identification number for each piece of plant registered and hold details of the machine Daniel Norris Tigers Jersey , the owner and their contact details. Plant machinery will be divided into 6 categories A-F. Category A 'Large tracked and wheeled machines greater than six tonnes and Category B 'Small driven equipment less than six tonnes' will require six separate markings. Whilst all other plant including 'non- driven equipment' and 'attachments' will require two markings.
DC Mark Galliers from the Metropolitan Police's TruckPol unit has been working with the plant theft action group. He explained:
"This number will be displayed on each machine on A4-sized tamper-proof stickers, as well as being painted on the roof and we will be able to check the number on a piece of plant at any time."
He would like to see the scheme adopted across the industry, and it seems very likely that insurance companies will soon insist on plant
