SafeTrac helping battle farming industry theft increase

Farming industry theft has seen an eight year high, with fears it will only increase as the economic crisis hits.

According to Farming UK, organised gangs are targeting farming machinery, quad bikes and livestock more and more, meaning a 9% rise and staggering £54 million loss in the rural world.

The livelihood of many countryside locations are at risk, and fears are only rising on farming industry theft due to the Coronavirus pandemic that it will get worse as criminals need other ways to make money.
