Rural Crime
This message is to inform people that there has been two burglaries in the Dorchester area over the weekend where outbuildings were broken into for chemical thefts.
These chemicals are used for farming purposes and not believed to have been stolen for any other reasons.
Once again, we would like to remind farmers, gardeners and builders to check their security and ensure that all items of value are safely secured and marked if possible.
