Two men sentenced to prison after stealing 20 pieces of farm machinery
Two men who were found with 20 pieces of stolen farm machinery have been sentenced to prison amid growing concern over thefts in rural areas.
Harry Hollowell, 25 and Vincent Bruce, 23, appeared at Bristol Crown Court just before Christmas Day after pleading guilty to conspiracy to handle stolen goods.
In October 2020, Somerset Police's Operation Remedy team – who specialise in dealing with rural burglaries – carried a stolen goods search warrant at a farm near Sparkford.
