A vintage tractor stolen in West Cork last week has been found over 400 kilometres away in Co Leitrim.

Gardai received a report last Wednesday that the tractor had been stolen from a shed in Schull in Co Cork.

A Garda investigation got underway, and the tractor was located in Carrick-on-Shannon on Friday.

The vehicle has since been returned to its owner in Cork, and Gardai say they're following a definite line of enquiry.
