POLICE are appealing for information after crops were damaged in a field just outside Swindon on Wednesday, August 7.
In the Blunsdon area, Wiltshire Rural Crime Team found an abandoned vehicle after it caused 'considerable' damage to crops - however, the police have stated the cost of the damage is currently unknown.
The vehicle itself had no insurance and previous keeper details only. It has been siezed by Wiltshire police.
A spokesperson for the rural crime team said: "These types of crimes have a considerable financial impact on the farmer during a challenging summer due to the weather.
"We would ask anyone who may have information about the damage caused to please come forward and contact Wiltshire Police."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Wiltshire Police at wiltshire.police.uk or by calling 101 quoting Log 66-07/08/2024
Alternatively, independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously online at crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling Freephone 0800 555 111.
