Detective Superintendent Trevor Davidson, head of crime at Bedfordshire Police, said: “Theft and burglary can ruin people’s lives and businesses. We will continue to show our communities that we will not tolerate this activity. “The swift and successful recovery of this expensive equipment shows what is possible when we have all the right information and able to act on it.
We are constantly collaborating with our partners to catch and convict the burglars who blight our communities.
“We would also urge members of the public to report any criminal activity to us as any information we receive helps us to carry out further enforcement and related operations.”
