North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses and information following the theft of around £30,000 worth of equestrian equipment from a livery yard in Stapleton, Pontefract.

Thieves entered the yard on the Stapleton Park Estate between the hours of 11pm on Sunday 4 October and 7am on Monday 5 October, taking a substantial amount of riding gear.

During the raid over 30 saddles were taken, along with around 40 bridles and other equipment such as riding boots and hats, horse feed, and 10 boxes of Maxi worming tablets.

Police believe that the offenders may try to sell the stolen equipment on, and are urging people to get in touch if they are offered equestrian equipment or horse feed for sale.

Anyone who has any information in relation to this incident should contact PC Ian Thompson of the Eggborough Safer Neighbourhood Team on 0845 60 60 247 - or Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
