We have been made aware by Wiltshire Police of a couple of scams farms in their force area are suffering.
\nOne 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.
\nThe 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.
\nPlease do not disclose any details over the phone.<\/p>\n
And<\/p>\n
Overnight, there have been breaks to outbuildings, vehicles\u00a0and garages within the East Orchard area although they may have occurred in a wider area.<\/p>\n
Officers have two males detained on suspicion of theft\u00a0and a vehicle seized. They are currently helping us with our enquiries.<\/p>\n
We are requesting that local residents check premises and vehicles\u00a0to ensure they have not been victims. If you believe you have anything missing, please contact Dorset police on 101 with\u00a0 information.<\/p>\n
Many Thanks,
\nNorth Dorset Safer Neighbourhood Teams<\/p>\n
