Dorton Group suffers major attachment theft

Demolition contractor Dorton Group has unfortunately been the victim of a major theft over the Bank Holiday weekend. Their premises at Burgess Hill were broken into and thieves have stolen a number of machine parts. Here's an excerpt from the e-mail Terry Quamby sent describing the theft:

They brought with them a Hiab lorry, sawed off the tongue to the gate latch, smashed the alarms and lighting standards, ripped out the electric cables and overturned at least 10 pallets and stillages of reclaimed materials to get their lorry through. They smashed a window and door lock on the 7 tonner to move it and broke off all the locks to the storage containers but do not appear to have taken anything from them.

Altogether we lost 4 x selector grabs, 1 x pulverisor and 2 x hammers. Details of which are as follows:

1 x Demco 275 Hydraulic breaker for 35 tonner
1 x Demco 150 Hydraulic breaker for 20 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR2200 Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR 4.5 Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne GR 3.5 Hydraulic selector grab for 20 tonner
1 x Kinshofer D40H Hydraulic selector grab for 35 tonner
1 x Mantovanibenne MS20R Hydraulic pulverisor for 20 tonner

Readers are kindly requested to contact Dorton Demolition directly if they are offered any of these items for sale.

We hope the authorities can locate the stolen goods and that the thieves are found for prosecution. If you can help in any way get in touch with the police or Dorton directly.
