Expensive equipment was stolen in a burglary at film crew s rented property A WOMAN sold £43,000-worth of stolen camera and filming equipment for only £2,000 the day after it was taken in a burglary, a court was told. But Claire MacClean was undone as the purchaser became suspicious realising he got more than a bargain and contacted the company which originally hired out the equipment, only to discover they were stolen goods. Newcastle Crown Court was told £54,000-worth of equipment was taken in a break-in at property rented by a film crew, at Plawsworth Hall Farm, near Chester-le-Street, on December 1, 2019. Alec Burns, prosecuting, said the break-in possibly targeted the equipment, hired by the production company for £8,054.
