The Shropshire team were invited by Cheshire Police RuralCrime to take part in a waste crime Operation to see how they work with local agencies to tackle waste crime. It was a great opportunity to learn different tactics and see how other forces work. #jointworking #alwayslearning

Although the fitted tracker wasn't accurate it certainly assisted us in finding this stolen ATV and returning it to the rightful owner. Please consider fitting trackers to your equipment. It really does work! #Shropshire #ruralcrime

Unusual start to the day in Shropshire. Report of a Fallow deer injured in the grounds of a care home. PC Lightfoot attended and along with staff from the care home and the amazing staff at Cuan Wildlife Rescue we were able to rescue it and hopefully give it the treatment that's needed.

#OpGalileo whilst not the usual type of vehicle we associate with hare coursing suspects, this Fiesta was seized in South Shropshire over the weekend. Anyone travelling into the area to engage in this so called sport, prepare to have your belongings taken!
