Rural crime crackdown

Dorchester Police went out on overnight patrol as part of Operation Shogun, a high-profile initiative to deter people from committing crimes in the rural community. They were joined by game keepers and farmers who acted as spotters for suspicious vehicles in the area.

Suspicious vehicles were stopped and searched. The operation discovered one car full of people that had previous convictions for rural crimes.
