Theft of tack and equipment – 31st July 2015

It is with regret, I am informing you all of a burglary to premises in Beacon Hill/Lytchett area of Poole in the very early hours of this morning.

Items stolen include tack, clippers, propane gas cylinders and other items of value.

Although this type of crime is rare, can we please remind all horse owners that your equipment is valuable and of interest to thieves.

Please have a look at how much you have spent on your equine friends and work out how much it would all cost to replace. I can bet it won’t be cheap!
Check your yards security measures. Are there lightbulbs that need replacing? Do you lock up properly every evening (or when you go out for 5 minutes in the afternoon)? Is there any more you can be doing to prevent yourself becoming a victim?
Have you got your tack marked so if we can get it back, we can link it to your crime?
Please, please, please DON’T be an easy target.
For any help or assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us or have a look on the North Dorset Horsewatch facebook page for more information on how to keep yourselves and your equipment safe.

Many thanks,
Kate Hann
