The police teams went out and about this morning in Windsor arresting prolific offenders. One was brought in and arrested for theft of a bicycle yesterday after an 'ident'. He and his accomplice, are prolific offenders who also breaks into cars. His accomplice immediately went missing, but 2 teams - the Neighbourhood Team as well as our Shift Officer Team went out and had him in custody within an hour !

Berkshire East Communications Team

A really good call from one of our members in Maidenhead. They drove home to see a car which turned into the road, then turned off its headlights but continued to drive around. A lad then got out and was walking along the parked cars with a torch looking into them. The police attended, but he was not located. That is exactly the type of call we want ! While you are thinking about what is going on - call us ! That would be a 999 call.
