A farmer used a yellow JCB telescopic handler to evacuate an unsuspecting squatter from his land on an early morning last week.

The Evening Standard reported Alan Roberts, 46, who rents Grange Farm, near Immingham, North East Lincolnshire, had lifted the squatter's caravan, with the squatter inside, off his land.

"If they want to come back for seconds, they can," he said.
"The increasing trouble with squatters has been winding us up, so I am taking the law in my own hands."

Roberts said it was the second time that week the man had parked his burgundy Vauxhall Cavalier and caravan on his land.

The report said farmers in the area claimed to have lost hundreds of pounds to trespassers and were worried about four-wheel drive vehicles driving over their land.
