'These thieves aren't just opportunists - this is organised crime'

There are concerns an international criminal network is driving a rise in the number of thefts from farms across Leicestershire.

Will Oliver, who farms near Market Bosworth, had GPS technical equipment and kit worth more than twenty five thousand pounds taken from his property.

He has told us of his frustration that criminals are upping their efforts to steal machinery and equipment.
