It is a visual deterrent to thieves and aids identification, by making it easier to return to its owner, property that is stolen and recovered and CESAR has the added benefits of having no annual fees and reducing insurance costs.

The system is approved and recommended by the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Association of Chief Police Officers.

The first 30 farmers who register for the ‘CESAR It’ day can have the benefit of a CESAR kit fitted to one of their vehicles at a price of £79 (plus VAT), for larger machinery and £69 (plus VAT), for quads/ride lawnmowers etc. This is a huge reduction on the standard ex-VAT prices of £150 and £140 respectively.

Inspector John Allen said: “This scheme is just one of a range of events and projects being held, as part of a Northern Ireland-wide action by the Police Service of Northern Ireland, to tackle farm thefts and help members of the rural community to protect their property.”

This coupled with the discounts on insurance available for having CESAR fitted, makes this offer too good to miss.”
