Thieves using hi-tech methods to steal from Scotland’s farm

Thieves are using hi-tech methods to target Scotland’s farming sector, with equipment and goods stolen in the past year.

The pandemic’s seen a 25% drop in rural theft but there was still theft and offences to the cost of £1.7m in 2020.

Nairnshire farmer, Willie Lean, had £14,000 worth of equipment stolen earlier this year.
