Plumpton farm targeted by Carlisle burglars who stole £11k quad bikes

At Carlisle Crown Court, a prosecutor outlined how the victim was a farmer in Plumpton whose working day began at 5am on May 11, when he went to an outbuilding to find it had been broken into.

The two Honda quad bikes he had left inside were missing after the padlock securing the door was cut away, the burglars using bolt croppers which they left at the scene.

The culprits were later identified as Stuart Kendrick, 41, and Mark Young, 25.
