Derbyshire people warning

[tms]

I don't know how true this is but a text is being sent round warning people that there have been sightings of 2 suspicious men with eastern european accents photographing local horses. They have been seen at shows, events and even in one horse owners field. They have been seen in a white van N253 XAJ (NB: these are believed to be false plates - these plates belong to a cream ford minibus, which is not involved in stealing horses - read more about this number plate) and a red Land Cruiser. Police are treating this as suspicious and if you see anything they are asking that you contact them. It is possible that this is a steal to order gang.

One reason I am posting this is because my friends horse along with two others got let out of their secure field last night.

Sorry, was only trying to help and add that my friends horses were let out last night.

Better to know three times than not at all.

Agreed, and I've not seen other posts yet, so this has alerted me. Thanks leo.
