Farmers in South East of England being repeatedly targeted by thieves
Nearly three-quarters of farmers in the South of East of England have been repeatedly targeted by thieves, new figures show.
Rural crime cost farmers in the South East £9.3 million pounds last year, with the majority of money being used to replace valuable equipment.
Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne commented: “Organised rural crime clearly poses a serious problem for farmers in our county and it’s worrying that the cost of rural theft in Sussex has risen by 38% in the past year.
