30 farm gates stolen from Oswestry company
Police are appealing for information following the theft of 30 metal farm gates from business premises at St Martins, near Oswestry.
The gates were stolen from the yard of S and J Wright Ltd. on the Ifton Industrial Estate between 8pm and 9pm last night.
Police believes a white Transit pick-up was used to remove gates worth £4,000 and may have made several trips to the site.
The thieves broke into the yard and stole the galvanised gates from a storage area. Ten 17-foot gates worth £1,000 and 20 12-foot gates were taken.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "The offenders would have been on site for some time loading their vehicle and we believe returned to make a second trip.
"We are appealing to anyone who thinks they may have spotted anything connected to this crime, to contact Oswestry police station on 0300 333 3000. We would also like to hear from anyone offered galvanised steel farm gates for sale under dubious circumstances."
Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers number, 0800 555 111.
