Police have charged six people in an investigation into rural crime.

In a co-ordinated swoop, officers uncovered a haul in stolen plant, agricultural machinery, pick-up trucks, vans, and power tools worth an estimated £1 million.

Three police forces – Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire – were involved in the raids.

Synchronised warrants targeted six different addresses in Newark, Screveton and East Bridgford, in Nottinghamshire, and Dunham on Trent, in Lincolnshire.

The suspects, who have been linked to 65 different offences between them, are listed below:

Dominic Alderton, 35, of Devon Road, Newark

Aaron Booth, 24, of Occupation Lane, East Bridgford

Gary Self, 56, of Coneygrey Spinney, Newark

Stefan Ward, 31, of Vessey Close, Newark

Colin Warriner, 35, of Dunham Road, Newton on Trent

John Watson, 35, of Flintham Lane, Screveton

Detective Sergeant Rich Kinsey, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“This extensive investigation has involved close collaboration between multiple police forces, with a dedicated team of detectives focusing solely on rural crime.

 “We are pleased to have now charged six suspects in relation to this case.

“The theft of vehicles, plant and agricultural machinery can have an absolutely debilitating impact on local businesses and on people’s livelihoods.

“This crime series resulted in almost a million pounds worth of equipment being stolen from a number of different commercial addresses across the region over a two-year period.”

The suspects are due to appear in the local magistrates’ court.
