Police ask people to report any suspicious behaviour following farm thefts

Several farms have been targeted by thieves with GPS equipment being stolen

Cambridgeshire Police are asking for anyone who notices any suspicious behaviour in two Cambridgeshire areas to report it. Farms along the A47 between Thorney and Guyhirn were targeted by thieves last night (Monday, May 11) and this morning (Tuesday, May 12) with GPS guidance systems stolen from agricultural vehicles and machinery.

Officers from the Rural Crime Action Team are working closing with farmers and are patrolling the area to target offenders. The police are asking for anyone with footage or who may have noticed anything suspicious in the two areas to come forward.

You can report anything through the force website by quoting the references 35/35067/26, 35/35055/26 and 35/35090/26. You can call 101 if you do not have access to the internet.

You can also report anything anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800555111.

PC Brady Slack said: “We believe these thefts could be linked because of their locations along the A47.

“We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the Thorney and Guyhirn areas recently. This includes anyone acting suspiciously, unfamiliar vehicles, vans or cars parked near farms and fields, particularly overnight or during the early hours of this morning.

“People may also have been loading items into vehicles or loitering around agricultural machinery. If you have any CCTV, dashcam, video doorbell footage or information about any of this, do get in touch with us.

“These GPS systems are highly specialised, costly to replace and essential to modern farming operations.”
