Thieves are thought to have driven off in a digger, excavator, roller and other vehicles after they were stolen from premises in Gloucestershire, police have said.

The six high value vehicles were stolen over the course of two nights.

The offenders were believed to have forced entry to the premises on the A38 Bristol Road in Cambridge, near Berkeley, Gloucestershire, at about 22:00 BST on Saturday and again at 21:45 BST on Sunday, officers said.

While there, they stole £250,000 worth of machinery, including a Machine Kubota excavator, digger and roller, which they drove off with in convoy.

Gloucestershire Police urged witnesses to come forward, or anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage.

Information can be shared with police via an online form, or anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers.
