Appeal following alleged theft of wood in Bere Regis

Officers investigating an alleged theft of a large quantity of wood in Bere Regis are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Dorset Police received reports that wood worth in excess of £10,000 was stolen from a Dorset Wildlife Trust site in Bere Regis on Saturday 24 December 2022 and on Sunday 1 January 2023.

Following enquiries, a 53-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of theft and released under investigation.

Officers also seized a tractor as part of the investigation and a notice was served that wood that had been located is to remain in situ while enquiries to establish ownership are conducted.
