Two stolen tractor GPS systems have been returned to the farmer who owned them after they were listed on eBay.

The victim posted two GPS systems, worth £915 each, to customers in the United States from a postal office in Maidenhead on 18 October this year.

Six days later, both customers told the seller the GPS systems had been replaced by cat food.
On 31 October, the victim found one of his GPS systems for sale on eBay.

Thames Valley Police Rural Crime Taskforce visited him three days later and took a statement.

Then on 10 November, officers found the stolen GPS systems in the Aylesbury area and arrested a man, 44, from the same area on suspicion of handling stolen goods, who was given a conditional caution.
