YOU'D have done well to miss it, but in case you did miss Optimus Crime's last appearance for 2023, we have you covered.

The Teignmouth & Dawlish Rural Neighbourhood Team, supported by the Rural Affairs Team, were present at this year's Powderham Food Festival.

And of course, no showing would be complete without their pride and joy, rural policing vehicle, Optimus Crime!

It was with a heavy heart, however, for it was Optimus Crime's last appearance of 2023.

Nevertheless, a fun day was had by all, with the Teignmouth & Dawlish Rural Neighbourhood Team on hand to talk all things rural, including responsible dog ownership, crime prevention and raising awareness of rural crime.
