Alert From Leicestershire Police – Tractor Stolen

This Massey Ferguson 135 was stolen sometime between 23 July 2018 and 06 August 2018, off Sacheverell Way in Groby.

This is an older photo but it is the same vehicle.

Since this image was taken, the 135 has faded slightly. The front bucket arms were on the tractor but were removed before the theft. The hydraulic rams and the connecting parts were welded to the tractor.

More recently – the barn where this was stored in was broken into and graffiti was sprayed on the wheels and tyres in red paint.

There was no battery on the tractor, no diesel in the tank and at least one tyre was very flat. The bucket arms were down on the floor. In all – this would have made this tractor very awkward to take. It was stored in a barn with heavy duty sliding doors which were double locked.

Did you see this on a trailer of any kind being moved away from the area? The description given makes this a very unique tractor.

Do you have dashcam footage that would form part of our investigation?
