Police are appealing for information after crops were damaged by quad bikes on a farm in Nottinghamshire.
Officers from Nottinghamshire Police received reports that "unknown offenders gained access to private farmland" off Gamston Road in Bothamsall between 20:30 and 23:30 BST on 25 July.
A force statement said that after accessing the farm the suspects were driving around the field and "damaging a large quantity of crops".
Footage taken of the suspected quad bikers has been released as police seek witnesses.
PC Hollie Marsh said: "Damage like this can cause farmers to suffer thousands of pounds worth of loss, and we want the rural community to know that we treat incidents like this very seriously and are determined to catch those responsible."
