We are seeing an increase in the number of quad bikes that are being stolen  from farm buildings in the Craven Area, especially in rural areas.  Thieves are increasing their efforts to steal the quads, by moving other farm equipment and cutting fences.  Please remain vigilant, report anything suspicious, and call 999 if you suspect that you or your neighbour have a burglary in progress.  Consider trackers and other security devices to make it harder for the thieves.  Please do not put yourself at risk.  There are usually more than one offender.
