PCSO White added: "Please also be vigilant when leaving, locking and securing machinery, as this has become a target for burglars in recent months.

"The Wellington West and Rural team are working on preventing further incidents, and catching offenders, and we need owners of machinery to make it as hard as possible for the offenders.

"Install and advertise cameras where possible, switch on security lights, chain vehicles and tools together, install alarms if possible.

"By making it harder for them, it helps deter them from their activity."
