his message is dated Wednesday 26th March for Maidenhead.

We had quite a busy weekend and burglaries did take place.

CRIME:

OLDFIELD:

21/3 2.15 a.m. Greenfields. Owner and friend walked home and then heard a noise at the front door. A stick had been put through the letterbox to try and open the door. They shouted and the offenders made off. I have a contact who receives Ringmaster messages who is part of the security industry and he advises everyone with an 'open letter plate' a normal letterbox to fit either a security hood or a deflector. Both are easily obtainable and easy to fit. It would end anything like this immediately.

25/3 8 p.m. Cannon Hill Drive. Attempt to force the front door. The alarm sounded and the offenders immediately made off.

BOYN HILL:

16/3 - 24/3 Fairacre. Car broken into - nothing stolen. This road is being targeted. Previously on the 14/3 17/18 -3.

COOKHAM:

25/3 1 - 1.15 a.m. Odney Lane. Caretaker heard a noise and went to investigate. He found lead from the roof all rolled up ready to go. He had disturbed the offenders, heard a car screeching away, but did not see it. Were you in the area ? Did you see a car acting suspiciously ?

LEAD HAS GONE ACROSS WINDSOR AND OLD WINDSOR - NOT CHURCHES THIS TIME BUT GARAGES - ROOFS FROM 10 GARAGES AT A TIME !!! Can everyone be very aware of any lead around them and keep an eye on it - [particularly strange vans at strange times of night - that would be a 999

HURLEY:

21/3 - 22/3 Diamond Cottages. Car window smashed - Sat Navc and caot stolen.

RIVER AREA:

19/3 - 21/3 Blackamoor Lane. Attempt to break in via the front door. No entry gained.

COX GREEN:

22/3 3.20 a.m. Ribstone Road. Entry again through the letterbox ! Handbag, watches, puppy and keys and 2 cars stolen. The handbag was later recovered from a roof in Hayes.

24/3 3 a.m. Treesmill Drive. Owner awoke and saw a man using a screw driver on the front door lock. It didn't work, so he went to ca r parked outside 3 up and got a crowbar. The owner then disturbed him and he ran back to the waiting car and made off. If this situation occurs please turn on all the lights immediately to let the offenders know you are awake and aware of what is happening. Shout out that you are releasing the evil dangerous guard dog and have phoned the police - which you are also doing at that moment ! they will leave immediately. By remaining silent, they may think there is no-one home and continue to break in. If you hear someone in the house, you never go downstairs, you put a chair against the door handle of the bedroom, call the police, turn on the lights and radios and again shout for the guard dogs to be released ! If there is anyone inside - they will leave.

BELMONT:

Finally, 2 kids were caught grafitting a stairwell in Stafferton Way with their Tags. They were arrested and as RBWM keeps a photo database had to answer to all other appearances of their tags in The Crescent, St. Marks Road Grenfell Road and the High Street. If you see tags anywhere please report them to both the police on 0845 8 505 505- for the attention of your Neighbourhood Team and RBWM Anti Social behaviour Team on 01628 683 800. When we catch someone - as we do now as a result of your calls - they have to answer for every tag they have done - that we have on file.
