TWO diggers worth thousands of pounds have been stolen from a farm in Mere.

Thieves made off with a Kubota 1 tonne digger and a Komatsu PC09 digger as well as nine buckets after getting into the bottom of a field in Wet Lane.

The theft happened overnight between Thursday, October 13 and Friday, October 14.

PC Steven Porter said: "The diggers stolen are worth several thousands of pounds and this incident will therefore have had a significant financial impact on the victims.
