Police are appealing for witnesses following the theft of three tractors in Sussex.

Three large Fendt tractors were stolen from a shed on a farm in Slade Lane, Petersfield overnight on Saturday, January 26 and Sunday, January 27.

One of the tractors was discovered nearby and a second tractor has been recovered from Southampton, Hampshire.

The third vehicle is still outstanding.

Sussex police are calling for witnesses who saw any suspicious behaviour in this area or saw a tractor on the A27 heading toward Hampshire on the morning of Sunday, January 27.

The news follows Staffordshire police who managed to retrieve six vintage tractors worth over £100,000 that were stolen in late January.

And earlier last month, a tractor which was stolen in Essex was recovered by the police before the owner even knew it had been stolen.
