POLICE will be holding a live web chat about rural crime for Oxfordshire residents.

On Thursday, members of the public will be able to quiz a panel of specialist rural crime officers, who will be on hand to answer questions about the issues affecting local people.

Inspector of Local Policing, Jan Penny, will be joined by Inspector of Neighbourhood Policing Teams for West Oxfordshire, Steve Hookham and Alison Wilkins from our Force Intelligence Bureau.

The session will run from 7pm until 8pm.

More details of how to prevent everything from poaching and livestock theft to fly-tipping and squatting are available on Thames Valley Police's website.
