NEIGHBOURHOOD police officers attended a farmers market to give advice on how to avoid becoming a victim of rural crime in the county.
Officers from Woodstock’s neighbourhood police team visited farmers and residents at Woodstock Farmers Market yesterday morning.
The visit is part of the force-wide campaign by Thames Valley Police to clamp down on the crime.
Insp Andy Thompson of Neighbourhood Policing and Partnerships, who is spearheading the campaign, said: “Rural businesses, including farms, are often targeted by thieves for their equipment, and the costs of being burgled can be very high for business owners.
“We want to highlight the impact that crime can have on businesses in rural areas, and do everything we can to disrupt those who aim to aim to commit it.”
