A 15-TONNE trailer worth £10,000 has been stolen from a farm.

Police are appealing for information after the red trailer was taken between Saturday and Sunday from a farm yard in Accrington Road, Blackburn.

Police believe the thieves used a tractor to escape towards Whitebirk roundabout and are urging anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area to contact them.

The trailer has a plate reading BWA fabrications on the tow bar. PC Matt Whitworth said: "It is highly likely that someone saw a tractor pulling a 15 tonne trailer during the night and I would urge them to come forward."
