Police are investigating a suspected fuel theft from a tractor in Oberpallen.
At around 2.30pm on Saturday, the owner went into the shed where he keeps his tractors and immediately noticed a strong smell of fuel.
Near the tractor, he spotted several stains on the floor beneath the fuel tank opening. When he started the vehicle, the fuel warning light indicated that the tank was empty.
A similar incident had already occurred some time earlier involving another tractor belonging to the same owner. On that occasion, he did not take the matter any further.
The suspected theft has now been reported to the police.
