Rural crime activities

Agreed on 9 March 2026. Updated on 9 March 2026

There has been an increase in Rural Crime activities in Alveston, Oldbury and Littleton-upon-Severn. The local policing team are working closely with the Rural Crime team. They are gathering intel regarding these issues and encourage the public to report anything immediately.

Rural crime is an issue for large areas of the country but it tends to go unreported. It can impact on insurance premiums, food prices and damage local communities.

If you think an offence has or is about to be committed, let us know. If you are not sure it is a crime, we would rather hear from you and determine that ourselves.

If you see or hear anything suspicious, call 101 or report rural or wildlife crime via our online form. You can call 999 if you are in an emergency.

Rural crimes can be reduced by the use of Watch schemes. Read more about our Farm Watch and Horse Watch schemes or call to speak to PCSO Paula Perry on 07889658237.
