A REDDITCH woman is calling for help to track down thousands of pounds worth of farm machinery stolen while her father was in Australia.

Two vintage Leyland tractors with bailing equipment, a hay turner, a large flatbed trailer and a front end loader were taken from a field near Tipping Hill, Hunt End around March 9.

Liza Bryan, from Webheath, who until recently ran a horse rescue centre on the land, said: "I was angry and very upset when I found the machinery had gone."

The 30-year-old, who still keeps eight horses, added: "I can't understand how people can steal this sort of equipment, which was hard-earned."

The tractors were last spotted at about 4pm on a lorry heading into Feckenham village and the driver is described as in his mid 40s with dark hair.

"I'm hoping that this may jog someone's memory," Miss Bryan said.

Anyone who can help the police with their inquiries can call 08457 444 888.
