Good afternoon Resident,
Throughout the district we see reports of Rural Crime.
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. Rural crime tends to fall into one of four categories: Agricultural - Agricultural crime covers working farms, farm machinery, farm buildings and smallholdings. Offences include theft of equipment or fuel, damage to property and livestock worrying. Equine - Equine crime covers working stables and equestrian centres and includes offences like tack theft and livestock worrying. Wildlife- Wildlife crime includes hare coursing, poaching and interfering with protected species. You can find out more about wildlife crime on our dedicated wildlife crime pages. Heritage- Heritage crime is defined as 'any offence which harms the value of Britain's heritage assets and their settings to this and future generations'. That can include offences like lead theft from churches, damage to ancient monuments and illegal metal detecting
