Thieves Target Isolated Barns

Thieves are targeting isolated farm buildings to steal quad bikes and other off-road vehicles.

There have been a number of thefts recently, including near North and South Kilworth, Gumley and King’s Norton.

Holes have been cut in the side of some barns to gain access or doors rammed.

It is one issue that will discussed at a special ‘Rural Crime’ event next week in Billesdon, organised by the Harborough District Community Safety Partnership.

Police will be among those in attendance – Pc Steve Winn from Harborough Police told Hfm it will be a good way of people living in rural areas to raise issues and get advice:
