Backing the Equipment Theft Bill – Protecting Our Customers from Rural Crime

At ATV Services Scotland Ltd, we see firsthand the devastating impact of rural crime. Too many of our customers have had their ATVs, UTVs, and farm machinery stolen, with thefts happening far too often across the country. These crimes don’t just cause financial loss—they disrupt livelihoods, create stress, and leave businesses struggling to replace vital equipment.

That’s why we were at the Scottish Parliament this week, with Suzie Dunn and Willie Kay engaging with cross-party MSPs to support the Equipment Theft Bill. This important legislation aims to deter criminals by introducing compulsory immobilisers and registration for ATVs, UTVs, and other farm machinery.

These measures would make it significantly harder for criminals to steal equipment and sell it on, giving farmers and rural businesses greater protection. We firmly believe this bill is a vital step forward, and of course, we were there to back it!

We’ll continue to stand up for our customers and push for stronger protections against rural crime. If you want to learn more about the Equipment Theft Bill or how to keep your equipment safe, feel free to get in touch.
