"A Farmer who caught two thieves stealing diesel from his barn is 'boiling with anger' after being told that they will not be prosecuted.

The men were trapped by David Key in the act of pumping diesel from a tank on his farm. There were two independent witnesses and police arrested the suspects at the scene and took possession of the padlock that had been forced - but the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped the case because of 'insufficient evidence'."
