Volunteers and police recover two stolen farm ATVs worth £50,000

Two all-terrain vehicles worth £50,000 have been successfully recovered by the police and volunteers after a farm in Northumbria was raided by thieves.

An investigation was launched by the police and Farmwatch volunteers on 19 October after thieves stole the ATVs from a farm near Morpeth.

After reports that a silver Audi had been in convoy with the stolen buggies, police scoured the local area and soon located a vehicle matching its description at a service station near Ashington.

The driver, a 23-year-old man, was subsequently placed in handcuffs and arrested on suspicion of burglary.
