Commenting on Rural Crime Action Week, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
“Rural Crime Action Week is vitally important to the rural community in Wales. Often isolated and unheard, victims of rural crime face unique challenges that are too easily overlooked and this week will shine a light on the realities of those affected, as well as the action needed to better protect them.
“With rural crime on the rise in Wales yet falling in England and Scotland, we must do all we can to ensure we protect the rural Wales and our key industries such as agriculture.
“The Labour Government in Wales must work closer with the local authorities and liaise with their counterparts in the UK Government in order to strategise a suitable plan to stamp out rural crime and safeguard the future of our rural communities in Wales.”
