Staffordshire Police rural and wildlife crime team has appealed for information regarding the theft of a blue New Holland tractor from the Flashbrook area, near Newport.
The team took to Facebook to appeal for information on the incident, which took place between 10:30p.m on September 13 and 7:30p.m and September 14.

Both tractors originally had trailers attached, which were both abandoned by the thieves.
Staffordshire Police rural and wildlife crime team urged anyone with any information on the theft to come forward to help it locate the tractor.
