"Local police take rural trespass extremely seriously," the State's Rural Crime Coordinator, Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said.
"The impact on the local farmer, the local rural community and the potential impact on the farming industries is a current and continuing focus for the NSW Police Force.
"Rural related trespass is linked to a broad range of rural crime that has such a significant impact on rural land owners and we want to work with rural communities to put those responsible before the court."
Police said investigations are continuing.
