There has been a theft of about 180 solar panels in Cambridgeshire, England.

The panels were stolen from a field in the village of Newton, the local police said yesterday as it is looking for witnesses. The theft took place between the evening of April 13 and the morning of April 14.

PC Carl Stoppard said: "A large vehicle would have been required to move the panels and it's likely it would have taken a few hours to remove them".
