Over £100,000 worth of tractors have been stolen from a Staffordshire farm, with the police describing the machinery as 'very distinctive'.

Officers from Staffordshire Police are appealing for witnesses after the tractors were stolen from a farm in Yoxall, East Staffordshire.

It is believed that they used a low loader to transport the vehicles.

They are described as:

• A red Massey Fergusson 230 Tractor, manufactured in about 1980.

• A Massey Fergusson telehandler.

• A red Massey Fergusson 342 tractor with a cab, in pristine condition with original tyres.

DS Craig Wagstaff from Staffordshire Police said: "The investigation is on-going and we are appealing for anyone in the Yoxall area who saw anything suspicious or anyone who may have information about the theft to come forward and speak to officers.
