Lee Jones, from J4M54 Motocross near Shifnal, today said it was the fourth time he had been targeted.

His tractor was 'hot-wired' by thieves who then smashed down his gates to get into the business next door.

The tractor was used as a battering ram to break into a store and steal red diesel, damaging the tank.

The raid happened last Wednesday and Mr Jones today asked anyone offered red diesel to contact the police.
