YOBS are damaging fields across Witham by driving over them.

At least three bits of land were damaged between February 17 and February 21.

Suspects removed the padlocks from outer gates to land in Terling Road.

Once inside they drove over the fields and broke into a storage container, but nothing was stolen.

It happened between midnight on February 17 and 10.48am on February 21.

Also, between the same dates, a field in Blunts Hall Road was targeted.

The suspects again removed the padlocks from the outer gates and drove over the fields, causing damage.

They broke into another storage container but nothing was stolen.

Between 9.15pm and 11.33pm on February 17, suspects also damaged land at Links Road in Rivenhall.

They were driving a vehicle on the fields, causing damage to crops.

It is thought they could have been chasing hares.

Anyone with information should contact Braintree Police on 101.
