Farm equipment stolen after being advertised for sale on a selling site

Police are appealing for information after equipment was stolen from a farm in the Ashburton and Chudleigh area.

Officers believe the property which was stolen had been advertised on a selling site.

It is likely this led to the location of the property being disclosed to potential thieves.

A spokesman for the Ashburton and Chudleigh policing team said: ‘Although in this case a farm was targeted, with the increase in buying and selling of goods on line and on social media or selling sites, we need to be careful of what information we pass to a potential thief.
