Theft of Sheep Theft of sheep in the rural areas is on the increase, the Brigg & Wolds ward is no exception. By the nature of where sheep are kept makes them vulnerable to theft, Rural officers are working hard to understand the problem and come up with innovative solutions to the problem. Objective Operation Settler is the Police response to the theft of sheep.
Police Powers
Crime Prevention Rural officers have been working with select sheep farmers in the North Lincs area to explore the use of a product called Tec Tracer. This product is a paint based system that incorporates micro-dots, a small amount of the paint is applied to the sheeps fleece. In the event that a sheep is stolen and it's fleece is located officers are able to recover a sample and use a small handheld microscope to read the code on the micro-dots. Tec Tracer was originally designed for metals as such they can resist high temperatures therefor if a fleece is burned there is still a chance the micro-dots can be recovered. The ability to identify a sheep or it's fleece will greatly increase the prospects of identifying those responsible and linking them back to the crime. Brigg & Wolds Neighbourhood Policing Team have successfully secured funding to allow the purchase of Tec Tracer which will then be distributed to those farmers who are repeat victims of sheep theft. |
