The details of the reported incidents are below. Please take a moment to read and share;

High-visibility patrols will continue in the areas of these incidents, so please come and speak to officers in person if you wish to. They will be happy to hear and respond to your questions and concerns, as well as receive and record any information you may have on the recent incidents.

If you were also a victim of a business burglary on the night in question, but have yet to report this to us, please do so at the earliest opportunity.
