Theft from farm properties is becoming a weekly concern for the OPP.
Police are asking the public to call police if they observe anything suspicious in farmers farm properties during the night hours.
The police would rather find out that it’s the owner tending to their property, rather than receive a call that an item of farm machinery has been stolen.
