Police are investigating the theft of hay from a farm in Ballasalla.
The theft took place overnight on March 1 when an unknown number of people entered the grounds of a property on Phildraw Road and made off with £110 worth of hay.
Police said this was not a small item and would have taken some effort and a vehicle to move it.
The hay was stored underneath a tarpaulin and was not obviously on show.
