THE PSNI say officers are committed to tackling the ongoing problem of rural crime.
Organised crime gangs targets farms for high value farm machinery such as tractors and then take them across the border.
Police in Derry say: “We want to disrupt the activity of those who target farmers and others in the rural community.
“We understand the importance of our rural communities and the role they play in the local economy.
“We also understand the fact that thefts of machinery and livestock hamper a farmer’s ability to do their job and causes significant upset, inconvenience and loss of income.
“Help us, by reporting suspicious activity as soon as you can with as much detail as possible so we can target those who seek to target you.”
So if you spot any suspicious movements of farm machinery at night call police on the 101 number.
