Reports now that, due to Range Rovers being one of the most stolen cars in London, many insurers are either refusing cover or massively increasing premiums.
They cite the sheer popularity and ease at which parts can be sold or vehicles shipped abroad.

Tracker also quote that 44% of the vehicles recovered last year using their system were Range Rovers / Landrovers.

Bradford T&A
Six men are due to appear in court today (Monday) charged in connection with an investigation into the organised theft of Range Rovers, Land Rovers and Mercedes Sprinter vans across West Yorkshire.


It follows an investigation by officers from Leeds District Intelligence Unit into a series of keyless thefts in the Leeds, Dewsbury and Wakefield areas that led to warrants being executed at two suspected ‘chop shop’ premises in Armley and Dewsbury where vehicles were found in various stages of dismantlement.

A total of 17 Range Rovers and Land Rovers and four Mercedes Sprinter vans were identified as being stolen in a conspiracy with an estimated value of around £1 million.
