“Theft of agricultural and plant machinery has a huge financial impact on victims and in some cases means they are no longer able to operate their businesses effectively any more and have to cease trading. This is totally unacceptable and we will continue doing our upmost to interrupt these travelling criminals and bring them to justice.”
