Stolen and recovered within 3 hours
After a long week and a hard day’s work on a Friday evening in June 2019 on a building site in Manchester, PLP Construction’s site engineer had packed up his kit and tools and loaded it into his van and headed to the gym on his way home. After a workout in the gym, on return to his van, it quickly became clear the hired Leica TS16 was missing and had been stolen. The theft was reported to Greater Manchester Police and a crime reference number was provided.
