Horse tack stolen from Telford farm
Thieves have stolen horse tack worth around £1000 from a farm in a rural Telford after sawing off a coded padlock to gain entry into stables.
The incident occurred at the farm just off the A442 in Long Lane sometime between 7.30pm on yesterday and 6am this morning.
The thieves carried out a brief search inside the stables and tack room before stealing three saddles and four bridles from inside and making off with them.
Police say the stables are quite a distance from the main road and it seems likely the thieves would have been on foot with at least two people involved helping to carry the tack back to a waiting vehicle.
The total value of the stolen horse tack is thought to be at least £1000 but one of the items has since been found on the grass verge by the A442. This item is set to be examined by forensic officers.
Officers investigating this incident are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen any suspicious vehicles parked on the A442 in Long Lane last night.
Anyone who believes they may have information about this incident is asked to contact police in Telford quoting incident number 70S 030114. Alternatively, if you’d rather leave information without identifying yourself you can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
