Insurance Times joins police swoop: in pictures

See how the action unfolded as Insurance Times joined a recent Metropolitan Police raid on plant theft at Tilbury Docks.

A number of Insurers have funded a plant and agricultural national intelligence unit as plant theft spirals out of control, costing the insurance industry around £400m a year.

The Metropolitan Police have already carried out a series of raids and Insurance Times was on hand to see how the unit was put in to action.
