Crime: 21 May 2010

I'm pleased to report that crime has remained relatively low across the Maidenhead area overnight, with one burglary and two vehicle crimes.

20/05/10- Lillibrooke Crescent, Cox Green; Offenders have gained entry to a property via the rear kitchen door (believed to have been left insecure). Cash box and paperwork stolen.

20/05/10 - High Road, Cookham Rise; Offenders stole a vehicle that had been parked up due to a road traffic collision earlier in the day. The vehicle was later recovered in High Wycombe.

20/05/10 - Northumbria Road, Cox Green; Offenders have stolen a Ford Transit. Registration R82 EHJ.

With the warm weather finally upon us, we have already started to see an increase in crimes which have occured when people have left windows open and front and back doors unlocked.

Please remember to shut windows and lock doors when you go up t o bed or go out. When out in the garden, make sure that your front door is shut and locked.

On a positive note, I'm very pleased to report that since the beginning of April, the Priority crime team have solved 82 offences across Windsor, Maidenhead and Ascot in relation to Burglary and theft from motor vehicles. This is down to some excellent work from all the policing teams involved, but also due to the co-operation and intelligence reported in by the public. Please continue to be vigilant and report suspicious activity to the police on 0845 8 505 505.
