Beware Tractor thefts

We are aware from National Rural Crime Unit information that there has been a recent resurgence in the theft of GPS from Farm Machinery, there have been two incidents reported in Humberside in the last week so we are urging you to stay vigilant and protect your equipment

To help protect against GPS theft, NFU Mutual provides the following advice:

Activate PIN security on GPS kit with your own unique number if available. If your system is not PIN enabled, mark your postcode to deter thieves and trace your property back to you.  Keep tractors and combines with GPS fitted stored out of sight when possible. Remove GPS kit when possible from tractors and other machinery and store it securely when not in use. Record serial numbers and photograph your kit. Check serial numbers of second-hand kit offered for sale.

It remains important to report any suspicious behaviour, particularly vehicle registration numbers, via 101 or online via Report a rural crime | Nottinghamshire Police
