Criminals targetted a farm to steal £7,000 worth of equipment belonging to two victims.

The farm, on Lower Burnham Road, Latchingdon was broken into between 10.30pm-7.30am last Tuesday.

The farm was gated and police do not know how thieves gained entry.

Criminals cut a padlock from a barn door and stole a red Massey Ferguson 400cc quad bike and a dark green 900cc Polaris utility vehicle.

The quad bike was worth £5,500 and the utility vehicle was valued at £1,500.

Keys to the utility vehicle were previously stolen and the owner had attempted to block the vehicle with a nine ton tractor to secure it.
