Someone trying to break into a locked barn

NFU Cymru and Dyfed Powys Police are reminding farmers to secure their properties and vehicles to deter criminals over the festive period.

This call comes after a spate of rural burglaries have been reported to the force over recent weeks and months.

Farmers are being urged to contact the Dyfed Powys Police Rural Crime Team, which has three nationally qualified crime prevention tactical advisers, to book a FREE crime prevention visit.

Five easy ways to prevent burglary

Use/close gates and lock if not in regular use - including field gates to include prevention of livestock theft and other activities.
Install CCTV and lighting.
Remove keys from ALL vehicles when not in use.
Keep items including vehicles securely in outbuildings when not in use, and lock the outbuildings.
Property mark items - overtly and covertly.
