Thieves target farms near Morebattle and Jedburgh

Police are urging rural communities to be vigilant after a quad bike and pick-up truck were stolen from farms in the Borders last week.

A red honda quad bike was stolen from a farm just outside Morebatte overnight on Tuesday, April 23, with a maroon pick-up truck taken from a farm south of Jedburgh the same night.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Most of these type of thefts occur in the early hours of the morning and we would like to emphasise that it is extremely important to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities or vehicles to Police immediately, rather than waiting until next day.
