Theft from Farms in Rural Communities

Theft from farms continues to be a concern in our rural communities. While some incidents may be opportunistic, others are carried out by organised groups, with agricultural machinery often stolen to order.

Following recent reports of farm machinery thefts, neighbourhood officers are conducting patrols where possible. However, due to the size of the area, we are asking members of the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity around farms and the local countryside.
