Doncaster East Neighbourhood Officers were asked to help find a stolen generator with a value of approximately £300,000. 

The generator was stolen from Derbyshire and information suggested it was now in the Hatfield Woodhouse area of Doncaster.

We tasked our team to search the area and see if we could find the stolen generator, which you would think would be relatively easy to find due to its size. After a coupe of hours searching the area we decided to try a new tactic…..

Step forward Drone Officer one and two, the famous double team who love nothing more than to fly their Drone – (when it's not raining)

The drone took to the air and provided officers with a eye in the sky, giving a fantastic view of the countryside. It wasn’t long before the Drone officers were jumping for joy and high fiving, as they spotted the stolen generator in a large privately owned compound. Officers on the ground swooped in, gaining access and securing the stolen item.

The generator was successfully recovered and returned to its rightful owners. 

The area will now be monitored for any other suspicious items or activity.
