Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses to a farm burglary in Aylesbury which included the theft of farm equipment.

The force said that between 11:00p.m on Tuesday, December 12 and 6:00a.m on Wednesday, December 14, offenders broke into a farm on Tring Road, Aylesbury.

A range of farm equipment and tools were stolen.

Investigating officer DC Matthew Roberts, a part of the priority crime team based at Aylesbury police station, said:

“I am appealing for anyone with information about this incident to please come forward as soon as possible to assist our investigation.

“Also, if you have any CCTV footage in the area or any dash-cam footage if you were driving in the area around the time, I’d also ask that you check any recordings in case it has captured something that could assist our investigation.

“Anyone with information is urged to contact us by calling 101 or via our website, quoting reference number 43230557527.

“Alternatively, you can report information completely anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.”

Last month Thames Valley Police’s rural crime team seized stolen machinery worth an estimated £110,000.

The force said PC Kime and Special Sgt Hill seized the machinery, including a generator stolen from TVP, a stolen generator from Salisbury, a HAMM Roller and a suspected stolen trailer.

The items were retrieved after the team collaborated with theft recovery company CanTrack in West London.

Sussex burglaries

Last week the Sussex Police rural crime team reported that two men have been arrested for three rural burglaries in Sussex.

The burglaries occurred in the Lewes and Mid Sussex areas.

The men were arrested in connection with the burglaries as well as for having an “offensive weapon” following a vehicle stop by special enforcement unit (SEU) officers.
