Crime generally still down, but we have seen an increase in both car crime and criminal damage. Burglaries are down by 50% against last year.

To reassure everyone. Parking in the Town Centre is now being addressed by the police - 14 tickets issued on Thursday last week - and this blitz will continue !

The police have arrested an offender who has been charged with 2 burglaries at this time. One in Knowl Hill, the other in Sunningdale. It took an enormous amount of police work over the weekend, but it was worth it.

LITTLEWICK GREEN:

28-29/6 Bottle Lane. A garage was broken into and an 8 week old pedigree boxer puppy stolen. We have had pedigree dogs stolen in the past, but they have usually been trained gun dogs. The usual MO is for the thief to then approach the owner offering to sell it back. If anything like this has happened to you, can you please let us know in order to protect others. It is unusual for us to have a single isolated incident. If you own valuable or pedigree dogs can you ensure they are protected for the immediate future.

COX GREEN:

27-28/6 Wessex Way. Drivers window smashed with a rock. Attempt made to remove the stereo.

29/6 4.10 a.m. Wessex Way. Video shop. Owner heard the alarm go off and heard a lot of banging. The Smoke Cloak system operated, filling the shop with thick smoke and the offenders made off in what is believed to be an old dark blue Vauxhall with a very noisy exhaust. We would be interested to locate that car and any information you may have would be gratefully received - PEC - 0845 8 505 505 or Crimestoppers - 0800 555 111
