Tools and fuel were stolen from two farms on the same day and police are linking the two burglaries.

Suspects stole tools and a set of screwdrivers worth £15 from the Asheldham farm and £500 worth of red diesel from Tolleshunt D’Arcy.

Police have linked the two burglaries and ask anyone with any information to call Essex Police on 101.
