Monthly Update
We have seen an increase in reports of anti-social behaviour by off road motorbikes/mini motos being ridden around the fields and woods in the area. We have already seized one such vehicle from the owner and it has subsequently been destroyed. We will continue with the positive action against these riders and would ask that the local community report any such incidents by calling 101.
There have also been recent incidents of thefts from vehicles parked in the local beauty spots. Please can we take this opportunity to remind everyone to take any valuables with them or even to leave them at home. Please report any suspicious people or vehicles you see that look out of place.
Offenders brought to justice
To be updated soon.
Vehicle Crime
The district as a whole has seen a slight increase in vehicle crime.
Please take a few moments to read our advice to you:
Don’t leave anything in your car – if it’s not there, then it can’t be stolen. - Choose a stereo that can be removed and make sure you take it with you!
- You should also mark it with your registration number or postcode, in case it is stolen.
- Thieves aren’t picky, so don’t leave even low-value items.
- Often thieves will smash and grab first and look later to see if what they’ve stolen is valuable.
- Don’t hide it – if you hide items under the seat or in the glove box, chances are someone will have watched you.
- If you cannot avoid leaving something in your car, put it in your boot before you begin your journey.
- Don’t leave valuables in your car even for a minute – it only takes a thief a few seconds to smash a window and get what they want, so don’t take the chance.
- Your car isn’t safe on your driveway – nearly half of all incidents where items are stolen from cars happen when they are parked overnight, close to the owner’s home.
- Don’t leave your house keys or anything with your address on it in your vehicle - someone could steal your keys and then let themselves into your home.
Do you have a bike? - How well could you describe your bike?
It only takes a few seconds to steal one, so keep a record of your cycle details, and keep it secure to deter thieves.
Mark your bike with your postcode and house number Keep a note of the bicycle frame number. This will add identification should the cycle be recovered by the police.
Take a photo of your bike on your mobile or with a camera and store it in a safe place. This will help us return your bike if and when it is recovered.
