Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm what action the Welsh Government is taking to mitigate livestock thefts?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
The Welsh Government Rural Crime Strategy, developed in collaboration with Welsh Policing areas, addresses several critical rural issues, including livestock theft and other crimes affecting farming and those living in rural areas. This collaboration has exemplified effective partnership working, facilitating publicity campaigns, specialized training for rural police officers, and enhanced sharing of criminal intelligence between policing areas.
