JIMMY'S Farm owner Jimmy Doherty today hit out at the "parasites" who ransacked his premises.

Vandals stole cash and a laptop from the office of his Essex Pig Company at Pannington Hall Farm, Wherstead, early yesterday.

Mr Doherty said: "There was just a mess everywhere. I can't believe people are that low, but you just have to clean up and get on with things. Unfortunately society throws up parasites."

Scenes of crime Officers went to the business - better known as Jimmy's Farm after the name of the hit BBC series - and took statements.

The 29-year-old friend of TV chef Jamie Oliver said: "They drove through round the back field, cut the fence and crowbared the window. They took an amount of cash and also a bag of change.

"The office was a mess. We have now had to find money to out in alarm systems."

He added that the suspects must have known the site as they had gone straight to the office.

A police spokeswoman said: "We were called at 8.12am saying that the farm shop office was broken into overnight. Entry was gained through a window."

She later confirmed that cash and a laptop had been stolen.
