A week of action on rural crime
Dyfed-Powys Police’s four rural crime teams will be tackling ongoing issues and targeting criminals across the force area, as well as raising awareness and building on crime prevention messages during the next week.
Operations will be run jointly with North Wales and Gwent Police, and will cover issues from quad bike thefts and off-roading, to sheep worrying and livestock movement. The teams will also visit farmers’ markets to speak with people from rural communities, giving them a chance to raise any concerns.
Superintendent Robyn Mason, Dyfed-Powys Police’s lead on rural crime, said: “While rural crime is firmly on our agenda as a predominantly rural force, this week of action gives us the chance to take a coordinated and strategic approach to issues with colleagues across the country.
“As well as linking with other forces, our rural crime officers will be working with teams from animal health and welfare agencies, Natural Resources Wales, and other departments within the police to tackle issues, raise awareness and further build on relationships with our rural communities.”
Dyfed-Powys Police has made significant investments in the rural crime teams since they were established in November 2017, with specialist equipment and vehicles ensuring remote communities can be supported fully.
