Thieves have stolen cable from a wind farm in Nottinghamshire.

Fives turbines were targeted at Lindhurst wind farm, in Blidworth Lane, near Mansfield, at about 01:00 BST on Monday.

Nottinghamshire Police said thieves broke in to each of the turbines and stripped earthing cable from three of them.

Scrap yard workers have been urged to report anyone who tried to sell them a "significant amount" of the cable.
