More police needed in rural areas to fight crime, union says
14 January 2021 |
Police with good local knowledge are needed in the countryside, the farming union says
More police officers should be deployed to rural areas to tackle the increasing criminal activity affecting farmers in recent days, NFU Cymru has said.
The union took its concerns to the Police and Crime Commissioner following a resurgence of rural crime, including livestock worrying and machinery theft.
NFU Cymru Livestock Board Chairman Wyn Evans, who himself had recently been the victim of rural crime after a savage dog attack, chaired the meeting with Dafydd Llywelyn.
DYFED-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn has issued a warning to dog owners that they face prosecution if they fail to keep their dogs under control when out walking the countryside. His warning comes following reports of several recent incidents whereby livestock have been attacked or killed by dogs across the Dyfed-Powys force area. As a result of the recent incidents and the ever-increasing concerns within local farming communities, Mr Llywelyn moved swiftly to organise a meeting with NFU representatives and the Dyfed-Powys Rural Crime team which took place yesterday (January 11). Mr Llywelyn said: “This is a critical time in the rural community as farmers go into the lambing season, and in light of these recent, concerning incidents, I will be meeting with NFU representatives and our Rural Crime Team in the force to identify ways of working collaboratively to tackle the problem.
