A GATE was rammed by thieves as they attempted to steal a logging tractor from Kearstwick, near Kirkby Lonsdale.
The incident occurred between September 13 and 15, when the offender or offenders entered both a secure compound and then a locked tractor and drove it at the gate, causing damage.
Both the gate and tractor were damaged, say police.
The tractor was left in situ and the thief or thieves made off.
Anybody with information is now asked to contact PC John Bateley at Cumbria Constabulary on 101.
