Thieves have taken up to £140,000 worth of specialist agricultural sat nav systems from a farm in Bognor Regis on Thursday.

Police said twelve of the NAV 900 GPS systems customised especially for agricultural use were stolen from tractors parked up for the night at Sefter Farm in Pagham Road, north of Nyetimber in Bognor Regis.

It is believed that they were targeted between 12 midnight and 4am.

Each of the units is worth around £11-12,000 and can be sold on the black market for anything from half to nearly full face value.

Officers are looking to see if the thefts may be linked to similar incidents elsewhere in the country and given the scale and apparent planning, believe that it may well be an organised crime group that is responsible.

Anyone who saw anything is asked to contact 101, quoting serial 286 of 13/08.

According to police, it's possible that the farm may have been scoped by the thieves in the days leading up to the incident and police want to hear from anyone with information, no matter how small their suspicion may be.
