van peeling

Trades people are increasingly using better locks and sensors in their vans to prevent break-ins. However, the 'peel and steal' craze is one way thieves are using to get around it.

what is it?

Criminal gangs are using this method to literally cut a panel in the door/side of the van and peel it back. Most vans have a solid bulkhead the sensors in the front won’t pick up what is going on in the back, a pretty basic cutting tool in most cases is enough to gain entry and takes a matter of minutes to do. Even if the van is empty the considerable damage caused will be enough to take the vehicle off the road.

anti-cut armour

Our anti-cut panelling retro fitted inside the vehicle will stop this type of attack quickly, by rendering the power tool useless and therefor creating enough time for the attackers to become deterred and flee the scene. There might be damage to the vehicle but its integrity has not been compromised and doesn’t necessarily mean it is off the road immediately.
