Police 'red dotted' a man with a Taser after a tractor was stolen in south Powys.

Brecon Roads Policing Unit said the theft happened in the Hay-on-Wye area on Tuesday morning (August 11).

Officers stopped the vehicle and the driver was "red dotted" - when police use a laser to mark the suspect with a red dot.

"Great work," police in Herefordshire said. "We were en-route to assist. Stood down minutes before as you had it in hand."

One man has been arrested and in police custody.

Earlier this week, Dyfed-Powys Police issued an appeal after a Massey 4355 with Sigma 4 Iron loader was stolen from a field in Clehonger near the Breconshire/Herefordshire border.

The stolen tractor has a green double spike on the back and a single red bale spike at the front. It’s registration number is CN53 RTO.
