Several farms in Mid Ulster have had high-value machinery stolen in recent months.

Dr Richard Lewis says policing is challenging but his team are "proactive" in tackling rural crime.

Police say the suspects were held after reports of dangerous driving and 4x4s gathering in fields.

Police say men used someone else's details to 'pay' for 20 sheep before driving off with them.

Police say a trailer was among the stolen items seized by officers during the operation.

A "worrying" crime wave is gripping areas of rural Wales, according to a farming union.

Farmer Mark Davies says the theft has made his family scared of going outside at night.

Officers say they have recovered stolen vehicles and equipment to the tune of £4m in five years.
