Two men have been charged with conspiracy to steal after farm equipment was found on a farm near Sparkford last autumn.
Harry Hollowell, 23, of Henstridge, Templecombe and Vincent Bruce, 21, of Bearley Lane in Yeovil were arrested and issued with a court summons after police from Avon and Somerset’s Rural Affairs Unit, Operation Remedy, and Operational Support Team recovered stolen property while searching a premises under warrant in Somerset in October 2020.
Various items of plant machinery, farm and highways equipment were recovered at a farm site near Sparkford on Friday, October 16, which were identified as stolen from places across the country.
The pair attended Yeovil Magistrates Court for an initial hearing on Wednesday, July 14 and will appear at Taunton Crown Court on August 16.
