Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Annoyed

Thanks Peter

We have spoken to the Leicestershire Rural beat officer and the advice is very similar. Our yard doesn't have CCTV at present but one of the liveries is a security installer and has offered advice. They will be getting it installed very soon. Fortunately, they have obtained a business support loan as the yard owner had just invested very heavily in a wedding venue on a recently purchased adjacent farm. They have made a big investment in the new business and had been fully booked for 2020. Now they have a business with no income and no books to prove past income since their first bookings were to have been in late March. They will invest in upgrading the security because they know they don't have the right setup.

I wasn't aware of the organised criminal part though - makes me even more relieved that they were not disturbed - the outcome could have been very different. We are told that they drove at the officers who encountered them and recovered our trailer.

Hare Coursing used to be an issue near here but had fallen away when several local farms secured all their off road tracks. Sadly the very dry weather we have at present means they will be able to drive almost anywhere in a 4x4 and it could easily make a re-appearance.
