Police have recovered stolen farm and plant machinery worth half a million pounds, in what could be the highest value recovery ever conducted in the UK.

Stolen items from all over the country were retrieved from two locations in north and south Warwickshire on Tuesday 5 September.

The recovered machinery includes three tractors, two dumper trucks, three trailers, one 360 excavator, one Land Rover, one compact loader and one ATV.

Information was received from the National Rural Crime Unit to the force's Rural Crime Team officers about two locations they had an immediate interest in.
