03 Dec Local Crime Update 30/11/2021

Posted at 14:55h in Law And Order by

Dear Residents

Please find below the crime record for the period from 15th Nov to 30th Nov 2021.

Pleasing to see a drop in theft of motor vehicles and no residential burglaries.  Disappointing to see two shop burglaries as we don’t usually see these on the Ward.  Also on a positive note we’ve had no theft from motor vehicle offences for just over a week.  Hopefully this general drop in crime continues into December.  Disappointing to see nasty behaviour from a group of youths in Wickham Way that would have been very frightening for the victims.  The victim did call 999 and a group of youths were stopped.  Unfortunately the victim was unable to identify the culprits.

On a happier note, all three Shortlands DWOs visited Highfield School last Thursday (25/11/21) as part of their road safety week.  We gave talks to all years, apart from reception, on road safety and, for the two oldest years (5 & 6), also included stranger danger and safe social media use.  The children seemed to enjoy it and showed great enthusiasm both answering questions we put to them & asking us questions.

The next drop in surgery is on Tuesday 14/12/21 from midday to 1pm at Shortlands Library, Shortlands Road.  Hope to see some of you there.

Thanks as always for your help and support.

Kind Regards

Adam
