Dorset Police Rural Crime Team is highlighting a car to be on the lookout for after it was seen on a Dorchester farm in suspicious circumstances.

A black Peugeot 206 with the registration number of WN** KYC was seen last night (Thursday) on a farm in the Dorchester area.

A black van, possibly a camper van, was also seen on a farm near Corfe Castle in suspicious circumstances, but the police do not currently have a registration for this vehicle.

A spokesman for Dorset Police Rural Crime Team said: "If these vehicles or other vehicles are seen acting suspiciously, please gather as much information as possible, such as the registration number and descriptions of the driver and any passengers, and if it is safe to do so, please do take a photograph, don't put yourself in danger to do this.

"Please contact Dorset Police immediately by calling 999 if the vehicle or occupants are seen committing a crime. For non-emergency call 101, email [email protected] or online at dorset.police.uk

"If you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crimestoppers Rural Crime Reporting line by calling 0800 783 0137 or visiting Crimestoppers-uk.org

"If you would like a farm or horse watch sign please contact the Rural Crime Team by email on [email protected] and they would be happy to dispatch some signs to you. Please include in the email your name, address, quantity of signs and please state which signs you would like either farm or horse watch."
