Two red compact tractors have been stolen overnight from Broadbridge Heath Road, Warnham , one is a Siromer compact tractor , neither are registered for road use and are only 4 yrs and 2 yrs old. The older tractor has a front loader fitted. The victims had been concerned for their security following a suspicious incident a while ago and had taken additional precautions. However the offenders were determined cutting securing chains, overcoming immobilisation and even used the sides of a tipping trailer as a bridge over a ditch. The offenders have also stolen a wood chipper. On speaking to the victims it appears that a neighbouring farm may have had diesel stolen last night as well. If you saw any suspicious activity please phone Sussex Police on the new national non emergency number of 101 quoting serial 0196 of 4/11/2011.
