OFFICERS are appealing for witnesses following the theft of a forklift from a rural building site, and vintage tractor parts and other farm machinery from a farm, both located on the road from Cammachmore to Cookney near to Newtonhill.
The Caterpillar Telehandler valued at a high four figure sum of money was stolen from the Netwtonhill area between around 6pm on Thursday, September 20 and around 7am on Friday, September 21.
Also between the same times and dates a quantity of vintage tractor parts and other farm machinery valued at a mid four figure sum of money was stolen from a farm nearby.
Enquiry officer PC Angela Dow said: "We are keeping an open mind as to whether these two incidents of theft could be linked. Given what has been stolen it is likely a large vehicle was involved. I would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area including any unusual vehicles in the time frame to contact us on 101 using reference number CF0232360918 for the forklift and CF0232330918 for the vintage tractor parts and other farm machinery.
"Crimestoppers can also be contacted on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous."
