A JOINT police operation targeting rural crime on the Powys border last week resulted in the recovery of a stolen quad bike and the arrest of three males.
Dyfed Powys Police Chief Inspector Jacqui Lovatt said the men were caught following a collaborative crime operation with West Mercia Police after a burglary had occurred at a farm in Herefordshire on Friday, March 4. She said motorists in Powys and Hereford were stopped by police officers later that day, which eventually led to the recovery of the stolen quad bike.
“On Friday, March 4, officers from Dyfed Powys Police and West Mercia Police carried out a joint acquisitive crime operation on the Powys-Herefordshire border,” said Chief Insp Lovatt.
“A total of 45 officers and staff were involved, targeting cross-border thieves. A farm quad bike was recovered and three males were arrested in Herefordshire following a farm burglary.”
