Police Report - March 2018



Sergeant Simon Lewis-Dalby says, "During the reporting period there were no reports of theft by housebreaking, there have however been two instances of break-ins to sheds in the West End, one of which involved eight sheds/garages being broken into and a number of cycles and garden tools were taken in this case the culprits were apprehended and have been reported. The one break into a shed in the Mannofield area resulted in two off road motorcycles being taken.

Although the nights are growing lighter we would still remind people to chain their cycles and motorcycles up when in a locked garage, particularly if they are on view from a garage window. Use a substantial lock/Chain and it would probably be best not to keep all your tools for removing
such a lock/chain next to it.

We would ask that anyone seen hanging around the rear of properties and in common lanes in
suspicious circumstances is reported to us.

The vandalisms across the area relate to either single unrelated incidents or were part of another
crime. In the case of the theft from vehicles the car in question had been left unlocked with valuables on display the culprits stole small amounts of loose change and personal items. As keyless entry becomes far more common in vehicles we would ask you to check the door is locked when you leave the vehicle.

The calls in relation to substance misuse in the Mannofield area is where to local resident smelled cannabis being smoked, whilst we are always happy to hear about such instances for intelligence purposes we would urge residents to call us as you see/smell it to allow us the best opportunity to attend and address these issues.

One of the issues constantly brought up at Community Council meetings are concerns regarding speeding, those reported for no insurance were stopped as part of our commitment to address your concerns during local speed checks.

Our team is committed to keeping the community safe, preventing and detecting crime. If you think something just isn't right, trust your judgement and give us a call right away, either as an emergency on 999 or to the Service Centre on 101. Quick and effective reporting allows our team to react accordingly and maximise the opportunity to apprehend offenders"

Can you help us?
The importance of the relationship between you the Community Council and us your CPT in preventing crime cannot be underestimated, you are an integral part of our community and as such have access to information and opinions not open or readily accessible to us.

Whilst we rely on trends, analysis and sometimes a good old fashioned Police Officers feeling about something, in many instances it is often the local householder who notices something out of the ordinary first. This will assist us greatly in being able to take local action on behalf of local people.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the overwhelming support our feedback plans have received. We will feed back to the individual Community Councils on the specific points they have raised.
Addressing Local Concerns
Over the next month in response to local concerns we plan to conduct speed and safety checks around our local Primary Schools to ensure drivers are doing all they can to keep OUR children safe. In addition we will be conducting late night foot patrols around the area to detect and deter acquisitive crime, if you see the officers in your back lane please give them a wave.

National Campaigns
We all think we are too savvy to be taken in by fraudsters, that’s why they choose to prey on the elderly and other vulnerable groups. Please take a moment to have a look and pass the message on to anyone you think could be at risk. We cannot over emphasize the importance of ensuring our seniors are aware of the advice contained below, every month we hear of instances when this knowledge would have saved someone becoming a victim of this type of fraud and often loosing substantial sums of money.

Please share this advice with everyone  https://takefive-stopfraud.org.uk/
