Stolen Denbighshire agriculture equipment returned to owners

STOLEN agricultural equipment from three rural Denbighshire farms has been returned to the owners.

Rural Crime Team police officers launched an investigation last October after £1,500 worth of gates were stolen from three separate farms in Mynydd Hiraethog on the Denbigh Moors.

The incident happened during the early hours of the morning on October 8 last year when a man driving an HGV stopped at each location, taking eight gates and four sheep hurdles.

Despite the rural and secluded location of the thefts, PCSO Iwan Owen located CCTV footage from a farm in the area, which led to the identification of the vehicle involved in the incident.
