Farmers and landowners are being alerted to a vehicle whose occupants are behaving suspiciously in north Dorset.

Dorset Police Rural Crime Team say a black Land Rover Discovery with the registration O*65*ZW has been seen in suspicious circumstances around farms around the north and south Dorset area.

The vehicle is believed to have been displaying motor trade plates.
The occupants were enquiring about buying machinery from farms but were also believed to be paying attention to farms.

Rural Crime Team PCSO Tom Balchin is appealing for anyone who spots this vehicle or other vehicles acting suspiciously to gather as much information as possible such as the registration number and descriptions of the driver and any passengers. He said: “If it’s safe to do so take a photograph, but don’t put yourself in danger to do this, warn police. Call Dorset Police immediately on 999 if the vehicle or occupants are seen committing crime. For non-emergency call 101 or at dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk.”
