Road marks link horse thefts fear
Thieves may be targeting land where horses are present and leaving paint markings in the road to direct accomplices, police have said.

Homeowners in Monmouthshire are being asked to report suspicious activity, such as people using spray cans to paint marks on roads near their animal.

No horses have been stolen but Gwent Police said a concerned member of the public had pointed out some markings.

The Highways Authority confirmed it did not use the fluorescent paint involved.

Well someone was outside my house spraying the road with blue paint, nos. and arrows. And they were in a white van! Had Southern Water on the side. Very suspicious!!! Probably cloned...Not worried though as all of mine are worth much more in insurance values than if i sold them LOL!!

Trouble is if this continues to go 'over the top' the police will not believe us when we do need them!

erm.... werid you should be talking about that... I noticed a few days back a lot of spray paint on the post to my horses field... it was red not fluorescent... i don't normally go that way to bring my horse in so got it checked out with a few people and haven't a clue how it got there... we have had a few incidents with weird people hanging around the yard... all reported as you can't be too carefully at the moment... just seems kinda strange.... probley reading into this wwwwwaaaaaaaayyyy toooooooooo much... strange....
