A beige Qashqai and a white Ford Transit Tipper – both with personal belongings – were seized by Dorset Police’s Rural Crime Team at Manor Gardens in Verwood last Thursday (July 3).

The force said that the vehicles are suspected to have been involved in environmental crimes in Dorset and are now subject to a live investigation.
