One of my clubs recently had a theft of traps , batteries and electronics plus a Land Rover Discovery unregistered (unroadworthy) ground vehicle.
Staffordshire Police , totally un interested , never even bothered to attend scene of crime . Only response from Desk person was " Do you have any idea who did it? "
Some time ago Bridgnorth Gun Cub had traps stolen , I traced the thief , reported to West Mercia Police who successfully prosecuted , although I did the leg work , then I had to go to Stirling in Scotland to collect my traps which I had traced and identified at the thieves premises in Wolverhampton.
In answer to the question , where are these traps going to ? They are being bought by shooting grounds looking for a cheap deal .
