The items were stolen in Co Tyrone on Monday 25 April, with a spokesperson for Euro Auctions telling the Irish Farmers Journal on Monday that a £25,000 reward had been put forward for information that would lead to the return of the lorry and diggers.

The lorry was a white Scania R560 with a 6x4 tractor unit and a grey Faymonville four-axle low loader. The three diggers were all Hitachi ZX 130 13t excavators and were 2013, 2011 and 2008 models.
The statement did not say which digger models were recovered by the PSNI.
The PSNI went on to say that detectives investigating the theft from the commercial premises on the Omagh Road "would like to thank the public for their assistance in this matter and continue to appeal for witnesses". They are asking the public either to call the 101 number or to call the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
