"It used to be called ' going equipped'." ""Going equipped" is a criminal offence under Section 25 of the Theft Act 1968 in the UK, where a person is found in possession of an article for use in, or in connection with, theft, burglary, or cheating while not at their place of abode. It acts as a preventative measure targeting individuals prepared to commit crimes. Key aspects of this offense include: Requirements: The prosecution must prove the suspect was away from home, had an article with them, and intended to use it for burglary or theft. Items: Tools can include specifically designed, adapted, or ordinary items (e.g., crowbars, gloves, screwdrivers, bolt cutters, lock picks). Intent: The focus is on the intended future use of the item, even if no crime has yet been committed." (AI) "intended to use it for burglary or theft." I don't think that the defendants were intending to take any of the factory's weapons products away.
