1. Theft from motor vehicles.
2. Burglaries.
3. There has been a sudden rise in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in
the village since the beginning of May. Those mostly affected are residents and
properties in the Belmont Road area and a small group of youths has been seen
in the area at about 11pm.
As
most of you are aware the criminal damage figures are high this month due to
the two week spate of minor damage to houses and gardens in Belmont Road, Sidcot Lane, The Chestnuts and Oakridge. We were again impressed how the community came
together, not only to talk to us but to support each other.
We have been passed a lot of information about these crimes and have a fairly
good idea what happened and who was part of it. As this is still under
investigation we cannot tell you more. We would like to thank the community for
all the information we have received.
This month quite a few parking warnings have been given especially pavement
parking warning. Pc Church has also been dealing with the speeders through the
village. Alot of our time has been spent in investigating the spate of criminal
damage and being visible in the village especially in the evenings along with
alot of other officers to deter anymore damage to properties.
Please have a look at the current Policing Priorities and suggest any changes
to the Parish Council who can adapt them and advise us of the priorities
agreed for next month.
