Gardai investigating after farm machinery damaged

Gardai are investigating an incident that occurred on Saturday night when a farmer/contractor who is involved in the growing and harvesting of potatoes had machinery damaged in a field in Bohermeen with the value of the damage done estimated at between €15,000 and €20,000.

The damage was done to machinery that had been parked in a field. The farmer/contractor left the field at around 10pm on Saturday night but returned early next morning to find a number of tyres slashed and damage done to the tractor's computer system. The Gardai in Navan are appealing for any information that might lead to the discovery of who was responsible.
