Hey, listen to this. Two farms in the Cotswolds got robbed. Thieves took power tools from one farm’s outbuilding, and from the other farm, a Honda generator vanished from a barn.

These thefts happened near Fossebridge recently, and someone reported both incidents to the police on February 5th. They think it all happened overnight. Police also got reports of two men acting strangely in a white van near Rencombe, but it is not confirmed if it’s related at all.

Cops have the van’s details, though. Police sent out a message about it all and a sergeant from Stroud shared the info, posting it on the local community alerts website.

He asked if anyone saw something suspicious related to a burglary near Fossebridge, which occurred on the road to Bibury. Someone broke into a farm building in that area and the owner thinks it was around 6 AM when a bunch of power tools were stolen.

He wants to hear from anyone who was out early and spotted anyone or any weird vehicles and asks that they quote incident 71 on Feb 5, 2025, and send information via online form. Besides that burglary, another place got hit near Fossebridge.

Someone stole a Honda generator from a barn there, and this happened overnight, they reported. The incident number is 78 on February 5, 2025. They also had info about the van out there, and because two guys acted suspiciously in Rencomb, police want to know if folks near the farms saw the van. This all happened early that morning.
