Occupants of a vehicle seen in the Piddle Valley could be up to no good, police are warning.

Dorset Police Rural Crime Team would like residents to be aware of a vehicle which has been seen in the area.

The vehicle is a 2008 registered white Ford Transit pick-up with the registration G*58*OP.

It has been seen in 'suspicious circumstances' in the area of the Piddle Valley near Dorchester.

Police said the occupants have been seen acting suspiciously near a farm asking about vehicles.

If you see a suspicious incident, police ask residents to gather as much information as possible such as the registration number and descriptions of the driver and any passengers and contact Dorset Police. Call 999 if the occupants are seen committing crime. For non-emergencies call 101.

* Meanwhile, members of Dorset Police's Rural Crime team will be at the Dorset County Show on September 1-2 along with Dorchester officers and the Road Safe team to answer any questions.
