Rural Policing Team asks people to stay vigilant

 The rural policing team in Rutland and Leicestershire is asking communities to keep reporting incidents, stay vigilant and keep up security measures.

Officers say they're investigating a range of incidents from theft of a horse, lorry, diesel stolen from agricultural machinery, attempted theft of a telehandler and an off-road utility vehicle, as well as reports of break-ins to outbuildings and crime against wildlife, including fish, a badger set, and nesting birds being disturbed. They say reporting of anything suspicious helps them build intelligence.

Yesterday afternoon, police were called to report a quad. Bikes being ridden on private farmland at Buckminster, which they say can damage crops fields and in the dry weather increase the risk of fire.
