Machinery and tractor thefts are on the up and making the local and national news - and we're urging NARC members to do everything they can to support the farming community.

Just this very week, there have been reported thefts of equipment from a smallholding just South of Towcester.

If you see anything suspicious going on, note the date, time, descriptions of people and vehicles and let the landowner / police know asap.

We need to be just as vigilant, to support our colleagues in the farming community.
