Rural Crime Awareness & Prevention Meeting

Rural insurer NFU Mutual has warned that Britain's countryside is in the grip of a crimewave, as latest figures reveal a sharp rise in the cost of rural thefts. Initial estimates from the insurer show theft cost the UK's rural homes, businesses and farms a staggering £44.5m in 2017, the highest level since 2013.

AudlemOnline seems to be receiving almost daily warnings from the rural alert network of actual or potential thefts.

Looks like Rural Cheshire is not the only area being targeted !
