Police officers have recovered a valuable piece of stolen equipment thanks to a tracking device.

Officers from the Batley and Spen Neighbourhood Policing Team found the stolen piece of plant machinery worth £15,000 from the back of a van in Birkenshaw on December 5.

After checks were conducted it also turned out that the van itself was on false plates.

Both items were recovered and crime scene investigators will carry out their work.
