Farmers out in force for police operation

8:52am Thursday 19th January 2012 in Wallingford

FARMERS, landowners and gamekeepers teamed up with 70 police officers in a bid to beat rural crime.

Last night tractors, quad bikes and Land Rovers were stationed around country lanes and fields as members of the rural community acted as spotters for the police.

They were in direct contact with a 70-strong force of police officers ready to swoop at the sign of any suspicious activity.

One man was arrested and a vehicle was seized in the course of the overnight operation, run by police in South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire.

This would explain why last night as soon as i pulled up at Shotover Country park that in a second i had a Thames Valley Police car behind me, as i was getting the dog out of the car for a walk...maybe Thames Valley police should look more closer at the red diesel thats being used on these farms...not to mention the fact that 5 houses have been broken into in my area in a space of 2 weeks..most dare not to get out of their cars for fear of catching a cold!!! let alone a criminal!!
