Large commercial generator stolen from North Dorset farm
It's thought a vehicle would have been needed to move it from Marnhull
A large commercial generator's been stolen from a North Dorset farm, with officers from Dorset's Rural Crime Team investigating.
The Doosan generator, which is white in colour and has the letters CES on the side, was taken from Marnhull at some point between 2.00pm on Thursday (18th July) and 7.30am on Saturday (20th July).
Due to its weight, officers believe a vehicle with a crane would have been needed to move the generator.
PC Sebastian Haggett, of the Dorset Police Rural Crime Team, said:
“We are carrying out an investigation into the theft of these high-value items.
“We appreciate the location is very rural, but we are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area during the relevant timeframe to please get in touch.
“It is quite possible that the vehicle involved has travelled through Marnhull and we would ask anybody who has CCTV to check it and get in touch if they see anything relevant to our enquiries.
“We are issuing an image of a similar compressor to the one that was stolen and would ask anyone who has seen one matching the description for sale in unusual circumstances to please come forward.”
