Police and partners took part in a proactive operation this week as part of efforts to intercept criminals on the road network in rural Hampshire.

Hart Neighbourhoods Policing Team led the operation, with support from officers within Roads Policing, the Country Watch Rural Crime Task Force, and the Northern Neighbourhood Enforcement Team.

Joining police were Hart District Council, the Environment Agency, DVSA, HMRC, and the Motor Insurers’ Bureau.
