We have had a report this morning from a rural property in the Shaftesbury Rural area of suspicious vehicle at the entrance to their property on Monday evening.<\/p>\n
The owner has reported this today as they have found a plait in the mane of one of the horses.<\/p>\n

However, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all horse owners and rural residents to remain alert and to log details of any suspicious vehicles or people they see in the area.
