23 Mar Local Crime Update 19/03/2024
Dear Residents
Please find below the crime record for the period from 1 March to 19 March 2024 Very pleasing to see no thefts from motor vehicle and only one theft of motor vehicle. Disappointing to see three burglaries.
The garage burglary in Farnaby Road was particularly worrying as it occurred only a few hours after the victim had had a new door and defender fitted. The contractor that fitted the door believes they may have been watched as two males were parked up nearby while they were working and did not get out the vehicle. Unfortunately the contractor did not take down the make, model or registration number.
On the community engagement side, I’ll be doing a Cuppa With A Copper Session from 4pm to 5pm this Friday (22/03/24) at Costa Coffee, Westmoreland Road. The next drop in surgery will be on Friday 05/04/24 from 4pm to 5pm. Hope to see some of you at these events.
