We have been made aware by Wiltshire Police of a couple of scams farms in their force area are suffering.
One scam is the caller says they are from the rural crime team and goes on to ask for details of machinery at the farm and if it is data tagged. This may be a precursor to thefts of farm machinery.
The other scam is of a similar nature but could be under the guise of farm safety around machinery and goes on to ask for donations.
Please do not disclose any details over the phone.
And
Overnight, there have been breaks to outbuildings, vehicles and garages within the East Orchard area although they may have occurred in a wider area.
Officers have two males detained on suspicion of theft and a vehicle seized. They are currently helping us with our enquiries.
We are requesting that local residents check premises and vehicles to ensure they have not been victims. If you believe you have anything missing, please contact Dorset police on 101 with information.
Many Thanks,
North Dorset Safer Neighbourhood Teams
