Three brand new 4x4s to police rural crime in Nottinghamshire

Efforts to catch offenders in rural areas in Nottinghamshire have been boosted by the addition of three brand-new Hilux 4x4s which have been rolled out across the county.

The fleet available to Nottinghamshire Police has now expanded with vehicles located in Bassetlaw, Newark and Sherwood as well as Rushcliffe to give the force the best chance of stopping criminals in their tracks.

The new vehicles have also been installed with mobile automatic number plate recognition cameras to enhance the existing network of fixed cameras on the county’s roads – which instantly alert police to sightings of vehicles linked to criminal activity.

The work taking place is part of Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Caroline Henry’s commitment to tackling rural crime as part of the Make Notts Safe policing plan, with £200,000 of investment also being provided to secure rural homes and businesses across some of the biggest rural spaces in the county throughout the Bassetlaw and Newark and Sherwood districts.
