Please be careful on the roads this time of year, we are seeing a number of deer injured/killed by vehicles causing significant damage to vehicles too
Deer are close to roadside this time of year for a variety of reason, but mainly because food is more readily available roadside

Some great work this morning with local officers from Downham Market arresting 4 males for hare coursing seizing their vehicle and dogs.

If you see hare coursing in progress please phone 999 immediately

Earlier this week PC Shelley and PC Holmes were kindly invited to the annual County Farms Tenant Farmers (Norfolk County Council Farms ) meeting at County Hall.

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces again and have a chat with a few to discuss their current issues.

Last night PC Shelley headed out with locals in Catfield area to discuss the issues around recent poaching incidents - key message is if we don't know about it we cannot do anything about it. Please make use of our online reporting form to report non urgent incidents to us.

Fly tipping is incredibly damaging to environment & costly for land owners to clear up. This week Breckland Council announced 3 successful actions taken against 3 business's and individuals.
