Officers are appealing for information from the public following the theft of high value plant machinery in Rode Heath.
On Monday it was reported a tractor had been stolen between the evening of Friday 17 February and the early hours of Monday 20 February.
Police attended the scene at a maintenance site on Knutsford Road, conducted a search of the area and found that an orange Kubota low loader, worth ÂŁ12,000, had been stolen.
It is believed thieves gained access by removing the tractor, cutting off the padlocks securing it inside a shipping container.
Nearby CCTV footage revealed that a person, dressed in a hoodie and jogging bottoms carrying a large carrier bag, was seen acting suspiciously outside the address at 3:55am on Monday 20 February. A vehicle, which was possibly seen carrying a low loader trailer, was also later spotted passing the site on Knutsford Road at 5:05am.
