The shelves that would normally be full of equipment
Thousands of pounds worth of equipment used for horses has been stolen on the Isle of Wight.
Police have confirmed to Isle of Wight Radio officers are investigating reports of two burglaries at stables in the West Cowes and Thorness areas.
It’s believed the break-ins happened sometime between Saturday night (7th July) and Monday morning (9th July).
Alan Stay owns one of the stables that was broken into near Thorness.
Speaking to Isle of Wight Radio he said, "I think the sort of people who do this don't really care about anyone, they just care about themselves. They wouldn't care about the fact the girls came down here and were crying their eyes out because of what they've found and the distress they've caused."
