Advice for Stowmarket Landowners from Suffolk Police

Advice for Stowmarket landowners. A warning has been released by Suffolk Police urging landowners to ensure their property is safe

and secure following an incident reported in another county on

Wednesday 28th September.

Trespassers illegally entered farm land and fenced-in the area, creating a number of postholes. The landowner has since tightened

the security of their field and filled in these postholes.

Quite a cheek and quite confusing as to why people would do this, but alas it does happen so read on.

Suffolk Police give this advice:

1) Ensure that gates which give access to fields cannot be lifted off

their hinges and are properly secured with closed shackle padlocks (to

reduce the risk of bolt cropping)

2) Ensure fences are in a good state of repair

3) Ensure that all vulnerable outbuildings are secure

4) Report suspicious activity e.g people hanging around close to the land

You can sign up for email alerts from the Suffolk Police which will update you with the latest news.

Please report any incidents to Suffolk Police on 01473 613500.
