Figures reveal ‘postcode lottery’ for stolen vehicle recovery in South East
Freedom of Information (FoI) requests to constabularies across South East England by motor insurance loss adjuster Claims Management & Adjusting, part of the QuestGates Group, have revealed huge disparities in stolen vehicle recovery performance. In London last year, the Metropolitan Police found well over half (54.28 per cent) of all vehicles reported stolen to them, whereas Bedfordshire Police recovered only 8.38 per cent and Kent Police even fewer, just 5.65 per cent.
