Police have released images of three men accused of 'significant damage' to a farmer's land and crops after they drove off-road bikes across it.

South Yorkshire Police said it had released the images as the incident had 'destroyed' the farmer’s livelihood.

On 16 July, it is reported that off-road bike riders gained access to farmland in Balby, causing damage to land and crops.

It is then believed that when the farmer approached the men, they became aggressive and threatening towards him and his livestock, before leaving the scene.
