Initiative to tackle rural crime in Loch Lomond is launched

Local organisations have joined forces to help tackle rural crime in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Partnership Against Rural Crime was officially launched on Wednesday (October 20).

There will be a key focus on various types of rural crime including fuel, plant and machinery theft, poaching, equestrian incidents, fly tipping, heritage crime (including visitor management) and livestock offences.
