Stolen tractor
The appeal comes just days after a New Holland tractor and a Herron tipper trailer were stolen from a yard in Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland.
During the course of the robbery, which took place on Tuesday, December 17, the thieves damaged a house with the implement.
Taking to social media, the PSNI said: “A New Holland T 7060 tractor and a Herron tipper, similar to the one shown, were stolen from the Cloveneden area of Loughgall sometime between 9:00pm and 12:00am on Tuesday, December 17.
“The tipper is the 2019 model and was in immaculate condition – but on being taken has caused damage to a house and may now have scuffs on the near side.”
