Fighting Back Against Rising Rural Crime in Wales

Rural crime in Wales has seen a sharp and worrying rise. According to NFU Mutual’s latest report, the cost of rural crime in Wales surged by 18% in 2024 to an estimated £2.8 million — the highest increase across the UK. With thieves targeting quad bikes, ATVs, and livestock in increasingly organised and disruptive ways, the impact on farming communities has been devastating.

At SECUREIT, we understand the unique security challenges faced by rural and farming properties. As one of the fastest-growing fire prevention and CCTV security providers in Wales, and a family-run business with strong local ties, we are proud to offer a wide range of tailored rural and farm security solutions.

“We’ve worked with rural clients for years — from upland sheep farms to remote machinery stores — so we understand the vulnerabilities and how to protect against them,” says John Reid, Key Accounts Manager at SECUREIT. “Our job is to deliver security that works with the landscape, not against it.”

Our security solutions include perimeter protection, monitored CCTV, GPS tracking, access control, and fire prevention systems — all designed to safeguard essential assets, livestock, and livelihoods. We combine cutting-edge technology with trusted, local support to ensure your farm, equipment, and family are protected.

“Farmers work incredibly hard, often in isolation, and they deserve to feel safe in their homes and workplaces,” adds John Reid. “We’re here to support that peace of mind, with practical, proven security solutions across South Wales.”

From Cardiff to Carmarthen, Brecon to Llandeilo, and Abergavenny to Cowbridge, we serve rural and semi-rural communities across South Wales. Our team is committed to delivering reliable protection with honesty, transparency, and the personal service you’d expect from a business that knows your name.
