Constable Charlie Jones said: "Criminals arriving on your farm won’t always be obvious.
"They may call beforehand with any excuse, just to look at what you have available to stea, whether it’s asking you to buy scrap, cheap tools or just asking for directions.
"Any excuse usually means one thing – they are looking for what they can come back and steal later.
"Thieves may park away from your premises and arrive on foot.
"They will have done their homework on entry and exit points or they simply use freely available satellite photos and maps from the internet."
Anyone with information about the thefts shouldontact Dyfed-Powys Police by calling 101.
