ISSUE: Wildlife Crime/Rural Crime .
Through consultation with our communities we have highlighted wildlife Crime/Rural Crime as a priority to be addressed.
ACTION: Being a rural area wildlife Crime and rural crime is obviously a priority. Theft of farm equipment + Landrover Defenders and burglary from farm buildings forms part of the issue as does hare coursing/poaching and other illegal activities. Locally we regularly run an operation called Operation Vitality targeting rural criminals who travel onto us from other counties. As a local team we consider it important to pay personal visits to as many victims of rural crime as we can to offer crime prevention advice and reassurance. Rural officers are members of a number of rural WhatsApp groups to help keep themselves informed and feed information back to the community. You'll be seeing more and more or our Rural Crime team led by Sgt Paul Archer out and about. Follow them on Facebook if you can Leicestershire & Rutland Rural Policing Team. We heavily rely on calls from residents to report things when they think something is suspicious so if you do see anything please get in touch.
