Police hope to follow their noses to catch thieves who stole three-and-a-half tonnes of manure.

The manure was in a large trailer which was taken from a country lane in Wookey, Somerset.

The smelly cargo was stolen overnight last Thursday, police said.

A spokeswoman said: "The trailer was full of manure, but it was probably the trailer they were after."
