RURAL crime in the South-West is on the rise, according to a leading insurer.

NFU Mutual says 70% of its agents in the region report that rural crime is increasing, with quad bikes, power tools and livestock topping the ‘most stolen’ list.

The firm says better security measures would help reduce rural crime.
