A dairy farm in Gillingham wants our help identifying the person behind their broken vending machines.

Somebody broke into the Madjeston Milk Station vending machines on Monday between 1:10am and 2:50am

Cash was reportedly stolen from the machines and Dorset Police say no arrests have been made at this stage.

The company have taken to social media to help identify the person responsible for the crime.

Abigail Williamson works there. She said:

"It is devastating. We've been open three years and to see all the work you've done, in a couple of hours just be torn apart is just really, really devastating.

"We've had the most amazing support coming from this. I've been blown back at just how much people do love the business, and it shows you all the good that comes from it.

"Obviously it will take time to get back to where we were. We're not going to let it stop us. If anything it's made us stronger as a business.

"It won't stop us, we'll just take a little longer doing it, but with the support I think we'll get there pretty quickly."

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said:

"We received a report at around 3.20am on Monday 20 September 2021 relating to a theft from vending machines and damage caused to the machines at Madjeston Milk Station in Cole Street Lane near Gillingham

"It was reported that the damage had occurred between around 1.10am and 2.50am. Cash was reportedly stolen from the machines.

"Enquiries into the incident are ongoing. No arrests have been made at this stage."
