Rural Crime Reporting Line
Stamp Out Rural Crime
The NFU has partnered with the charity Crimestoppers to launch the Rural Crime Reporting Line, a service through which you can anonymously give information about four rural crimes.
Rural crime is on the rise and it is a serious issue for farmers, businesses and those who live in the countryside. Whether it is fly-tipping, hare coursing, livestock theft or machinery theft, rural crime has a devastating effect on farms and other rural businesses.
Those responsible for this blight on our countryside are suspected of having links to organised crime. It is vital we bring them to justice.
That’s where you can help. You can call the dedicated Rural Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to give information anonymously about one of these four crimes:
• Large-scale industrial fly-tipping
• Hare coursing
• Livestock theft
• Machinery theft
The service was unveiled to MPs at a launch event in Westminster, where they were urged to encourage constituents to use the service and give information about these crimes in their area.
