Dozens of stolen vehicles were recovered in a massive police raid near Odiham yesterday.

The address on Farnham Road, just outside the village, was raided as part of a planned operation by around 60 officers over a 12-hour period on Monday, with Hampshire Constabulary reporting that 29 stolen vehicles including caravans, vans, cars and quad bikes recovered.

They also revealed that cash, suspected Class B drugs and weapons were seized, whilst six people were arrested.

Officers are now trying to trace the genuine owners of the stolen items in a bid to reunite them with their property, and have called it “a great example of how pre-planned police activity can have a positive impact”.

Detective Inspector Steve Court said: “This was an incredibly successful warrant executed by a large number of dedicated officers over a 12-hour period.

“We are pleased to report that a large quantity of items – including stolen vehicles, drugs and weapons – have been found and safely stored as evidence.

“It is a great example of how pre-planned police activity can have a positive impact and I’m delighted with the outcome.

“My team of officers are now working hard on the investigation and we will update you on their progress when we can.

“If you have any information that you think could help, please call us on 101, quoting 44210376519.”
