PC Jamie Brown said: “This burglary would not have been done by one person due to the weight of the machinery. A large vehicle would have also been required to transport the machinery away.

“As well as the stolen machinery, damage was caused to the site. We are carrying out extensive enquiries but would be keen to hear from any witnesses to any suspicious people or vehicles in attendance at the site between these times.”
