Police are warning landowners to be vigilant after electric fence batteries were stolen.

Norfolk Constabulary said in the past two weeks at least four had been taken from fields in Potter Heigham, Catfield and Horning.

In one incident, equipment worth about £400 was stolen from a storage box.

Officers said landowners should "reassess their security" and mark valuable items to help aid their recovery should they be stolen.
