 | | This bid was initiated by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service and involved close working with Warwickshire Police and the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, the North Warwickshire District, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough, Rugby Borough, Warwick District and Stratford District Council areas. |
 | | Due to the increase of approximately 37% of the number of deliberate vehicle fires from 505 countywide in 2001 to 695 in 2003, there was an urgent need to drive down these fires in abandoned vehicles by ensuring they were removed before being set on fire. |
 | | If the vehicle is in a ‘Hotspot’ area the call operator will contact Warwickshire Police, who will mobilise a Community Beat Officer as soon as possible to inspect the vehicle. |
