Illegal Use of Rural Areas by 4x4 Vehicles

Picture
OPERATION NEBRASKA 3 has been set up to extend patrols in off road capable police vehicles and motorcycles to prevent the unauthorised and illegal use of woodlands, parks and rural areas by 4x4 vehicles and motors in the Sherwood Forest area, including Sherwood Pines, Black Hill, Browns Covert, Far Round Plantation, Strawberry Hill, Harworth Estates Sand Pit and Slag Heaps.

Due to the high increase in complaints the Harlow Wood area of the forests will also be covered.

"There is a common perception that rural crime is less significant than that occurring in cities and towns.  The impact of rural crime is just as serious as it is elsewhere which is becoming an increasing problem as austerity bites and as police resources are stretched thinner."
