Three arrested in connection with stolen digger

Three people have been arrested in connection with stolen digger.

Police recovered a stolen mini digger in Clehonger yesterday evening. The mini digger was believed to have been taken from farm land in Ewyas Harold in the early hours of Sunday 30 September.

Three arrests have been made relating to this incident and they remain in custody.

Rural crime can have a huge impact on the communities, business and the individuals we serve and West Mercia Police is committed to tackling it.

Herefordshire Rural and Business PC Sarah Smith said: “We are so pleased for the owner that we have recovered the mini digger. This successful recovery of equipment would not have been possible without the help from our rural community.

 “Working closely with our rural communities is important to us and I’m really pleased that through projects such as We Don’t Buy Crime and work done by the whole rural and business team that we’re able to understand the issues that affect them and work with them to resolve these.

Over the next few months we will be visiting farms throughout the county offering them the opportunity to get involved with our latest initiatives to help make their land even safer.”
