Equipment worth more than £1,000 has been stolen from a farm.

Overnight on August 21, burglars forced their way into Fowes Farm, in Great Yeldham.

Two fires were started in two grain stores on site.

Essex Fire and Rescue Service did not need to attend.

They stole nine 12 volt heavy duty batteries, first aid kits and safety clothing from a local shooting club on site.

Anyone with information is asked to call Braintree police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
