Police have recovered two vehicles which were stolen within the space of two days in the county.

A Kubota and Ifor William cage trailer with a Honda Quad and sheep fencing on board were stolen from the Spalding area on Sunday (February 18), followed by a Polaris Ranger stolen from the Sleaford area on Monday (February 19).

“The Polaris Ranger was recovered by response and specialist operation officers after a short pursuit on the same night,” a Lincolnshire Rural Crime Action Team statement read.

“(On Monday) while one RCAT officer was conducting the enquires into the theft of the Kubota and trailer with quad and sheep fencing from the Spalding area, another two RCAT officers were responding to a report from an eagle-eyed member of the public about a suspicious Kubota parked in some woodland around the Sempringham Fen area.

“No surprise that the Kubota that had been reported was the one stolen from Spalding.”

Police added that the Kubota was recovered and returned to its owner.
