£20,000 worth of stock from Keighley-based cricket pitch company stolen

    A company that maintains cricket pitches has had most of its equipment stolen by thieves.

    Shipping containers which housed specialist equipment worth at least £20,000 were raided in Silsden.

    The incident happened between Sunday night at midnight and 5am on Monday morning, 22 May.

    The burglars made off with a wide range of items, from hand tools and strimmers to large and expensive groundworks equipment such as scarifiers and mowers owned by Keighley-based JMS Sports UK.

    Police have recovered two wheelbarrows which were left near the scene and are investigating a trail of trampled grass leading away from the containers.
