Nottinghamshire Rural Police, Toyota Hi-lux 4x4
My first viewing of a vehicle from the Rural Policing Section of Nottinghamshire Police. They have recently bought three new Toyota Hilux 4x4’s to supplement the ones they had originally.
A lot of policing has been suburban or urban centred up till now but criminals and others have seen that there is a lot of money to be made from theft further out in the country as well as lots of other illegal behaviour of all sorts.
Theft from farms is becoming a major problem. Farm machinery including tractors and quad-bikes is frequently stolen as well as livestock like sheep and cattle going missing. Farmers diesel fuel is siphoned off out of vehicles or taken direct from tanks on the farm.
Trespass with trail biking over farm lands is increasing. Illegal hare-coursing where dogs are used to chase and kill hares happens in certain areas. Fly-tipping, illegal disposal of waste, often dangerous and including asbestos occurs in farmers fields or on secluded country lanes and paths is reported often on the news.
Countryside crime is rising. A fact that the Police Service now treat very seriously.
