Please see the below from Thames Valley Police:
There has been a recent spate of gate thefts (metal & wooden) as well as other metal objects from farms in the past week.
We ask all landowners, businesses & those in rural communities to remain vigilant & report any suspicious activity or thefts through 101 or 999 in an emergency.
Please see below some crime prevention to help protect your property:
-Make sure items that can be, are locked away through a padlock in a secure building. An alarm system & security lighting may also offer extra target hardening of buildings.
-Mark all your property by etching your postcode on items & also by using smartwater which forensically marks items so the thieves can be more easily identified
-Install closed circuit CCTV to help monitor property of value
