Officers made their way to the area in search of those involved – in their hurry, the suspects reversed the HGV off the road causing it to become stuck, the suspects then made off as officers arrived on scene.
Unfortunately following an area search neither of the suspects were located.
Enquiries are underway to identify those involved – the generators were both recovered with minimal damage and returned to the rightful owner without delay.
