POLICE are appealing for help after thieves stole diesel from a farmyard at Barton, near Richmond.

The red diesel was stolen between 11pm last Monday, May 13, and 4.30am the following day and as it is not permitted in road vehicles it is thought the thieves may try to sell it to someone involved in agriculture.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Richmond police on 101, select option two and ask for Christian Fletcher.

Alternatively information can be emailed to christian.fletcher@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
