'Thousands' spent on tackling rural crime, says NRW

Tens of thousands of pounds meant for managing forests is being spent dealing with increasing cases of rural crime, according to the body responsible for woodlands.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said fly-tipping, motorbikes being driven illegally and arson were just some of the problems it faced.

Gareth Roberts from NRW said a "significant" amount of resources were used up dealing with the problem.
