There has been a recent increase of theft of machinery from commercial and agricultural premises. A number of items have been recovered and returned to their owners due to a combination of community intelligence and partnership working with our rural crime team. Please report and suspicious behaviour, small 'snippets' of information help us to build an intelligence picture and target our resources where they are most needed.

Wincanton Rural Neighbourhood Officers continue to monitor this priority as we are still receiving reports from our rural communities. We are also working with neighbouring forces like Dorset Rural Crime Team on crimes which are happening across borders.
Proactive patrols will continue, please contact us on our website for any enquiries which we can try and help with.
