Police are warning farmers and landowners with outbuildings in remote areas to be on guard after burglars struck near Market Harborough.

They stole a number of items after breaking into sheds on a gated road between Arthingworth and Great Oxendon between 7pm on Sunday and 9am on Monday.

A bale-grab attachment, batteries and livestock-related items were stolen.

Officers are also appealing for information about suspicious vehicles or people in the area.

A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said: “Please, can any CCTV in the area be checked for any vehicles moving around late at night.

“Even if its a flash of headlights, or movement seen, please make contact to assist with this investigation.

“The slightest bit of information or intelligence goes along way to helping fight rural crime.

“This incident highlights the importance of securing locations, installing alert / alarm systems and also overly marking your equipment to make them identifiable.”
