DAY 78: West Berkshire runs Operation Fox to disrupt crime on Ridgeway



Operation Fox ran on Tuesday (11/2) between 9am and 5pm along The Ridgeway, a National Trail that runs through West Berkshire which is known to be used by criminals to commit rural crime as it is criss-crossed by byways

The aim was to:

  • Disrupt and detect any criminal activity
  • Stop check and where powers exist search persons and vehicles of interest
  • Gather intelligence
  • Seize any vehicles where powers exist
  • Provide reassurance to the rural community by high visibility policing and engage with members of the public
Two members of the Mounted Section helped the local NHPT to patrol The Ridgeway.

Two Section 59s were issued on the day to people driving in an anti-social manner.
