Police recover stolen car during checks in rural Dorset

TRAFFIC stops in rural Dorset resulted in one victim of crime seeing the welcome return of their stolen car.

Officers from Dorset Police’s Rural Crime Team were carrying out enquiries as part of ongoing investigations and made several vehicle stops on Wednesday (August 21).

“On most occasions any vehicle offences were dealt with by way of advice, however, one driver was issued a traffic offence report for not wearing their seatbelt,” a spokesperson said.

In another instance, checks on a Fiat 500 revealed it was stolen.

“The vehicle was seized and is being returned to its rightful owner,” the spokesperson added.
