A ‘substantial amount’ of farm machinery has been stolen from a farm near Calne.
Detectives say machinery was stolen from the Compton Bassett estate between Friday, May 16, and Tuesday, May 20.
They added that the quantity of machinery was substantial enough that a trailer would have been required. It would therefore have been noticeable as the trailer moved through the village.
Now, the force is appealing for anyone with information, or with dashcam or doorbell footage to get in touch.
