Officers made four arrests, recovered £150,000-worth of machinery and seized seven stolen vehicles as part of a cross-border rural crime operation.
The proactive operation, launched earlier this month, was aimed at cracking down on criminals who travel between Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.
It follows reports of high-value thefts and burglaries of off-road vehicles and power tools stolen from outbuildings, farms and businesses in Nottinghamshire.
