Some really great collaborative working today between Wiltshire Police, the MOD and the volunteer Special Constabulary for Operation Aston.

Op Aston aims to tackle illegal activity on Salisbury Plain Training Area.

‍‍ Officers were out and about during a busy day on Salisbury Plain supporting our MOD colleagues.

Lots of people using the plain lawfully and responsibly but unfortunately not the case for all ...

Make sure if you’re going to venture out to Salisbury Plain you do your research and plan your day. Be sure you know where you ARE and ARE NOT allowed to be. Useful links are below for further information.

Photographed are four bikes siezed under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act for not being road legal & being driven on an MOD area where the public aren’t permitted .

Avoid an expensive day out & plan where you’re going, drive safely & ensure your vehicle is road legal. #OpAston
