Rural Crime Scheme Targets 200 Farms In Northern Ireland

A rural theft scheme is launching in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, to tackle the problem of cross-border theft of agricultural items such as mowers, sprayers and trailers.

The initiative is being funded by the Department of Justice and will be implemented by the Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Policing and Community Safety Partnership together with the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Around 200 farms will be encouraged to join the scheme which goes live at this year’s Mullahead Ploughing Match in County Armagh.
