Local Priorities

Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) can have a devastating impact on individuals as well as our local community, and everyone has the right to feel safe where they live, and we all have apart to play in this.

We always encourage our communities to report persistent Anti Social Behaviour in your areas, either by calling us on 101, using our website to report things online, or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Our local neighbourhood teams work alongside our constabulary’s specialist anti-social behaviour team, as well as other local authority services and charities, to work with those involved in low level offending. This ranges from warning letters to education and support. We also work with those involved in more persistent offending with higher end interventions, such as Community Protection Notices and Community Behavioural Orders that can include arrestable conditions.

Issued: 25 Mar 2026

We’re asking our rural communities across the Yeovil area to be alert to potential poaching activity.

Poaching is illegal and can lead to significant harm to local wildlife, farmland, and livestock. It frequently involves trespassing, property damage, and can be linked to wider rural crime.

What poaching can look like:

Illegal hunting of deer, hare, or game
• Entering private land without permission to take wildlife
• Using lamps, lurchers, or other equipment to hunt at night
• Activity in fields or woodland outside permitted seasons

Signs to watch for in our rural villages and farmland:

Vehicles parked in gateways, tracks, or laybys late at night
Strong lamps or torches sweeping across fields
Dogs or equipment associated with hunting
People walking on farmland where they shouldn’t be

How to help us protect the countryside

Your reports help us build intelligence, plan patrols, and work with landowners to deter rural crime.

Call 101 to report suspicious activity
Dial 999 if you believe a crime is in progress
Reports can also be made online via the Avon & Somerset Police website

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and our rural communities. Together we can help keep our countryside safe.
