Agricultural vehicle stolen

At 3:40pm on Friday (4 November), a John Deere Gator agricultural vehicle was stolen from an address in Stapleford Lane.  It was driven towards Snakemoor Lane and Durley Brook Road.  

The police are appealing for dashcam footage from those in the area at the time.

Today around 10:30am, a vehicle matching the description was located stashed in the woodland area behind Dumbleton Towers, after a member of public reported it to the police.

It is reported 5 young males were using the ATV before getting it stuck in some bushes.  They were seen fleeing in a grey Audi on Ellis Road, Thornhill.  

If anyone has any CCTV around Tunstall Road and Ellis Road, the police would very much like to see the footage. 

This latest theft comes just a few weeks after two similar vehicles were stolen from Hedge End Golf Centre; as reported by Hedge End Police via their social media page on 12 October.
