Independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of £3,500 for information that results in the arrest and conviction of those responsible for a spate of high value agricultural thefts in the Mid Ulster and Fermanagh/Omagh areas.

Urging anyone with information to contact the charity, Chief Inspector Scott Fallis said: “We hope this cash reward will encourage those with information about recent thefts of items including quad bikes, to tell Crimestoppers what they know.

“Crimestoppers is completely independent of the police and the reward is paid directly by them. The charity guarantees that everyone who contacts them stays 100% anonymous.
