A ride-on mower worth £7,000 has been stolen from Leigh Sinton.

The mower was taken between 8pm on Tuesday and 3pm on Wednesday.

The Briggs & Stratton-engined, grey Stiga 'Park-Pro' mower - with a 42-inch cut - was driven across two fields and through cut fences before being loaded into what may have been a Ford Transit-sized vehicle.

Officers are hoping someone may have seen the van or low-sided vehicle being driven from a field onto the Hereford-Ledbury Road near Leigh Sinton.

Anyone who saw this happening - or who knows of a mower that has appeared elsewhere unexpectedly - should call police on 08457 444 888, quoting 357S/300408, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
