Police target Cheshire West rural roads in two-day crackdown

CHESHIRE POLICE’S Rural Crime Team targeted West Cheshire’s rural roads as part of a two-day enforcement operation earlier this month.

On Wednesday, July 6, officers, assisted by Cheshire West and Chester Enforcement Officers, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency , the Commercial Vehicle Unit, and the Constabulary’s motorbike officers checked vehicles including HGVs to ensure they were safe to use the roads.

Waste and livestock carriers were also assessed to ensure licences were in order, and the Constabulary’s vehicle examiner assessed plant and agricultural equipment to check they were all in order and not stolen.
