Friday, 14 October 2022 01:00

Overnight between 11th-12th October, two vintage tractors of huge sentimental value were stolen from a barn in Hamptworth near Landford.

The owners are desperate for their safe return.

One of the tractors is a 1968 Fordson Dexta registration 855UBJ and the other is a 1957 Furgeson 35 in grey and gold registration 722YUG.

PC Peter Jung said, “The two tractors are immaculate and have been in the victim’s family all of her life so they have huge sentimental value. They are in an excellent condition and are often taken to various shows where they bring joy to a lot of people.

“We would urge anyone who either saw or heard suspicious activity in the area or anyone who has seen the vehicles to please get in touch immediately so they can be returned to the owner.”

Anyone with information should call 101 and quote crime reference number 54220107835. Alternatively, call CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
