Thieves steal mini diggers from Mexborough firm

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after the reported theft of two miniature diggers from a business in Mexborough.

Thieves forced the locks at Catlow Civil Engineering, on Pastures Road, between 7.30pm and 9pm on Wednesday, July 20.

An investigation is underway and officers are reviewing CCTV footage from the local area.

They urge anyone who saw a black car or white van in that area on Wednesday evening to get in touch.

They are also appealing to anyone who saw or heard any suspicious activity in and around the area.

Those with information can call police on 101 or email [email protected] quoting, incident 148 of July 21.
