Bermuda Triangle caravans at risk

Back

As the weather finally improves, many caravan owners will be making plans to head to destinations across the country in search of sun and relaxation.

However, these plans could be scuppered by caravan thieves, with enthusiasts living in the so-called ‘Caravan Bermuda Triangle’ more at risk than others.

Owners in the Midlands are being warned to be extra vigilant as the proximity of the motorway network puts them at heightened risk.

Simon Douglas from the AA said: “We believe 10% more caravans vanish in an area bordered by Leicester, Coventry, Birmingham and Nottingham.

“The triangle of trouble is drawn along the popular motorway network of the M6, M42 and M1 which provide quick getaway routes for thieves.”

According to data from the organisation 4,000 caravans are stolen each year, but owners can take steps to reduce their insurance premiums.

Using wheel clamps, chassis locks, hitch locks, electronic tagging systems and securing caravans while out of season will all lower insurance costs and of course help lower the risk of becoming the victim of crime.
