Van crime tool theft petition

UK Based group Trades United is organising a van rally in Westminster, London at Parliament Square to highlight the widespread issue of tool theft and the resale of stolen goods, a huge issue in the UK. Starting from Brent Cross near west london, tradespeople from across the UK will converge on Parliament Square to demand stricter enforcement of existing laws and greater accountability for venues that facilitate the resale of stolen tools at car boot sales and markets.

When and where will this take place?

Tradesmen and women will gather in London for a van rally, urging the government to address the poor enforcement of laws that jeopardise thousands of livelihoods across the UK.

The event is scheduled for Monday, June 3, 2024, starting at 11:00 AM. Participants will arrive at Parliament Square between 11:45 AM and 12:00 PM, where tradespeople and their supporters will drive, walk or cycle to Westminster to sound the alarm on the escalating tool theft and van break-in crisis.

In Westminster, the tradespeople will stage a 'go slow' convoy demonstration, driving around the area for two hours. The goal is to emphasise the need for stringent measures to deter or help stop the sale of stolen tools.
