Police called out to Derbyshire’s Chatsworth House after anti-social behaviour and dogs worrying livestock

Police have attended Chatsworth House in Derbyshire after receiving reports of anti-social behaviour and dogs threatening the safety of livestock.

Bakewell Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) and Derbyshire Rural Crime Team were deployed to Chatsworth House.

This joint operation came after complaints were made about sheep worrying, anti-social behaviour and littering.

Officers were on hand to provide education on the countryside code, with an SNT spokesperson saying: “We all have a responsibility to protect the countryside now and for future generations. Please respect those living in, working in and enjoying the countryside.”
