This is being treated by #Cleveland #Police as targeted - if the lads simply wanted to nick the #tractor for financial gain (its worth quite a bit) it would have made 0 sense to drive it through outer suburbs of #Middlesborough (where its presence would attract attention)
Other reports state the tractor was nicked from #Crathorne - and the farmer points out its not something a #driver only used to smaller motor cars could easily control (to the level of driving several km into a built up area, whoever did it has knowledge of how to drive these things..
