Rural Crime

Rural crime continues to be a focus for the team especially now we are in the poaching / hare coursing
season. We are continuing to conduct proactive operations with our neighbouring forces and our Rural Crime
Team in tackling rural crime.

Non-dwelling burglaries

Whilst we have seen a reduction in non-dwelling burglaries and theft of garden machinery in the Redlynch, Downton, and Wilton area, we are maintaining high visibility targeted patrols at certain times of the day and night to provide reassurance to the community and to act as a deterrent from cross border criminals.

Op Limit and Licensing Checks

During December, NPTs will be conducting licensing checks in pubs/clubs to align with the national campaign against drink/drug driving.
