I’m proud to have been a part of this and heard first hand from our rural communities the difference they have seen as a result of our response which was enabled by the hard work of those that fought for the new legislation. #OpGalileo #Teamwork #RCAT #RuralCrime

It is so important to check any machinery you are looking to buy thoroughly. If a deal seems to good to be true or you have concerns about an item please DO NOT buy it and report the item to us so we can conduct the relevant checks. #RuralCrime #RCAT @NFUEastMidlands

Bird of prey persecution comes in many forms, including poisoning, shooting, trapping, disturbance, and egg theft. This year in Lincolnshire, I have investigated reports involving all of the above. Persecution of this type is rife in the UK. And needs to stop.

Hours and hours of investigation time have resulted in this case and other cases like this being proven in court. Well done to those that stand up against these criminal's who have nothing good to give our communities. 1/2 #OpGalileo #RCAT #RuralCrime #Notinourcounty

This week is National Rural Crime Week. With the new hare coursing season upon us and cases from last year progressing through the courts we thought we would share this little video of one of the forfeited hare coursing vehicle being crushed from last season #ruralcrimeweek
