03 Jul Latest Ward Crimes 31 May – 30 June 2026
Dear Residents,
Please find below the crime record for the two periods 31st May to 15th June and 16th June to 30th June 2026.
As I’ve just returned to work after a month’s leave and there’s not too much to say.
Unfortunately, there has been an increase in thefts of motor vehicle. Honda CRV’s seem to be popular targets for thieves at the moment. Whatever vehicle you own, it could be worth a looking on the “Secured by Design” website and/or worth speaking to your vehicle manufacturer re enhanced vehicle security.
Hopefully, I’ll have more in a couple of weeks when I’ve been back longer.
Kind Regards,
Adam Charles
