Hampshire police are making enquiries and are appealing to the public for any witnesses.

A statement from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘Were you in the area at the time?

‘Did you see anything suspicious?

‘Do you have any dash-cam or CCTV footage that could help the investigation?

‘This incident is a timely reminder for owners to consider preventative measures that could help deter crime and prevent loss of property; which could include the likes of installing sufficient flood lighting in areas where they keep vehicles or other plant machinery.

‘Likewise, ensuring that any vehicles are kept out-of-sight from the roadside and have been secured with appropriate locks and chains as required.

‘If you have a tracker available that you can fit to the vehicle, this would also help deter would-be opportunists and aid the potential recovery of the vehicle if it is stolen.’
