'We had our cattle trailer stolen 2 weeks ago'

Rural crime is an issue for large areas of the country but can often go unreported. It can impact on insurance premiums, food prices and damage local communities.

Ben Jackson joined police officers Rob Cross and Kelly Tomes from Leicestershire Police's rural policing team to find out the issues they're faced with every day on the beat.

Farm Equipment and tool security can be a particular issue for rural businesses and farms. Dairy farmer Tom Smith had his cattle trailer stolen a few weeks ago. He explains to Ben that the loss is much more than just a financial one.
