Fly tipping.

Issued: 3 Feb 2026

Status Update

We have been working closely with Ashford Borough Council to tackle fly‑tipping across the area. As part of this joint work, several days of action have taken place. Officers and council staff visited locations where fly‑tipping happens most often and spoke with people linked to these issues. During this activity, a number of vehicles were stopped and checks were carried out on documents and loads to make sure waste was being transported legally.

We have also been sharing information lawfully about scrap metal dealing in the local area. This helps us and our partners understand what is happening and take appropriate action.

As a result of this work, a business in Hothfield was found to be breaching the conditions of its scrap metal licence. Ashford Borough Council issued a closure order, which has helped stop illegal activity linked to waste and scrap metal.

We have also supported Kent County Council with enforcement work in the Furley area. An unlicensed scrap metal site was identified, which was affecting communities across the district. Kent County Council has since taken action, disrupting this illegal operation and reducing its impact on local residents.

Farm equipment thefts.

Issued: 3 Feb 2026

Status Update

We have joined Farm Watch so we can work more closely with farmers and people living in rural areas. This helps us spot crime trends early, particularly thefts involving farm equipment and machinery.

We have also carried out targeted intensification weeks in areas where there have been concerns about farm break‑ins. During these periods, officers spend extra time in hotspot locations, increase patrols, stop suspicious vehicles, and speak directly with farmers and local residents. This helps prevent crime, provide reassurance, and identify offenders.

Officers have also been patrolling key ‘red routes’. These are routes we believe are regularly used by offenders targeting rural communities.

In addition, a property‑marking event was held in Biddenden and advertised across the district. This gave farmers and landowners the opportunity to have their equipment and machinery marked, helping to deter theft and making stolen property easier to recover.
