With livestock theft on the rise, they say it’s important to report crime in order to break the cycle.
“Over 80% of our farmers report having been victim of rural crime, 76% have been a victim on more than one occasion and a staggering 23% have been a victim on 7 or more occasions,” Detective Seargent Bennett Nolan from the Rural Crime Prevention Team, said.
“Almost every single person has a smartphone. It’s never been easier to contact Crime Stoppers than it is today,” CEO of Crime Stoppers, Peter Price, said.
