Police are appealing for more information after thieves stole 220 solar panels from a farm in Lincolnshire.
Thieves stole the solar panels along with two high-value inverters from the poultry unit, located in the village of Stickney.
The theft took place on Midville Lane on 16 November, Lincolnshire Police said.
Farm owner Tom Craven took to social media to share photos of the aftermath of the crime.

It comes after NFU Mutual warned that rural and farm crime could 'escalate significantly' as the pandemic's economic impact begins to bite.
Highly-organised criminals continued to plague farmyards in 2020, the insurer's latest rural crime report shows, stealing high-value farming GPS, quad bikes and ATVs.
