Rural crime concerns aired in meeting with crime commissioner

Date of alert:

Sunday 20 March 2022

Crime Ref:

Force:

Lancashire Constabulary

A businesses association has met with the police and crime commissioner to see how the new five-year crime plan will help tackle rural crime.

The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) held a meeting with Andrew Snowden, with members airing their concerns about rural crime such as machinery and fuel theft; illegal hare coursing and associated legislative changes; organised crime; and fly-tipping in the county.

The event, supported by Lancashire’s Rural Crime Unit, was attended by various CLA representatives, including farmers and rural businesses from the surrounding area.

There was positive news on the extended coverage of rural policing teams across Lancashire and the promise of a new rural inspector for the force.

A year ago, new rural task force teams across Lancashire, based at Clitheroe, Waterfoot, Morecambe, Garstang, and Ormskirk, were introduced to proactively tackle various types of rural crime in the
surrounding areas.
