Rural crime, including hare coursing and fly-tipping, continues to have a significant impact on Braintree’s rural communities, landowners, and farmers. These offences cause damage to land and wildlife, financial loss, environmental harm, and can leave residents feeling isolated and vulnerable.
Issued: 7 Apr 2026
Status Update
In response to these concerns, the Braintree & Uttlesford Neighbourhood Policing Team has increased its focus on rural crime through targeted patrols which are intelligence-led. Officers are working closely with local farmers, landowners, parish councils, and partner agencies to identify emerging issues and share information effectively.
As part of this engagement, officers are visiting farms and rural landowners to deliver DNA property marking kits and provide tailored crime prevention advice. These visits aim to deter offending, improve traceability of stolen property, and strengthen confidence among rural businesses and residents.
