 Advice on how to keep agricultural equipment safe can be found in the attached booklet produced by the North East Crime Reduction Team. 

Consider marking your agricultural equipment with a SelectaDNA Rural Kit. 

Marking your premises and equipment with SelectaDNA – a unique formula of DNA, UV tracer and microdots – can reduce the chances of theft.

Criminals view items marked with SelectaDNA as too high risk and are further put off from stealing them as they have little or no resale value.
