Night time Exmoor farm raiders net £12,000 of machinery

QUAD bikes and farm equipment valued at £12,000 have been stolen in a night time raid on an isolated Exmoor farm.
The thieves forced their way into a barn at the unnamed farm in Simonsbath between 8 pm on Friday, January 18, and 8 am on Saturday, January 19.
They stole two Yamaha quad bikes (similar to the one pictured, right) and a Wessex Jensen towed wood chipper and other farming equipment.
Details have just been published by the police - nearly two weeks after the crime was committed.
