Police seized four stolen vehicles as part of the force’s pre-Appleby Horse Fair policing operation.
A car, two horse boxes and a wood-chipper were all found to be stolen.
They were seized by officers on Friday who continue to work with the National Stolen Vehicle team as part of the pre-fair operation.
Detective Superintendent Dan St Quintin, God Commander for Appleby Horse Fair, said: “We make no apologies for targeting criminality as part of this operation.
“Many of those attending the fair are law abiding citizens; however, we will not hesitate to take action where we find vehicles to be stolen.

“Appleby Horse Fair is the Constabulary’s largest annual policing operation.
“The public can expect officers to carry out necessary checks and act where they see offences, without fear or favour and regardless of which community the individual belongs to.”
