Police urge vigilance following an increase in incidents of rural crime in West Devon

Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

Date of alert:

Thursday 30 March 2023

Crime Ref:

Force:

Devon & Cornwall Police

Devon and Cornwall Police rural affairs team is asking farmers, landowners and the public to be on alert in rural areas as they experience an increase in incidents of rural crime across both counties. Over recent weeks there has been an increase in the theft of agricultural precision guidance systems. These devices are often fitted to tractors and agricultural machinery and are frequently stolen due to their high value and portability.

The team is encouraging equipment users where possible to remove items when not in use and consider property marking options. Most recently incidents have occurred in the West, Mid and East Devon areas.
