Rural crime addressed in the North

Hunt for agricultural antagonists

Rural crime concerns in the northern farming community have been raised in a Manx NFU branch meeting. 

Isle of Man Constabulary representatives were on hand this week (Mon) to help provide a view of the law - including the effects of sheep worrying.

The organisation set up the discussion to help improve relations between agricultural workers and the police to deal with the problem.

Inspector Andy Kneen was there, he said members raised concerns in a 'very reasoned' and 'businesslike' way - adding there's now a plan to address their issues.
