Crime: 28 May 2010

There has been very little crime across Maidenhead since about Wednesday as you will see below - let's hope it stays that way over the Bank Holiday weekend. A lot will though depend upon us. If it is hot and we leave windows open for ventilation, thieves will make the most of that. We have opportunist thieves who have to feed a drug habit 7 days a week. They are always on the lookout for residents that have made a mistake and left a car parked up unlocked or an easily reachable window left open. If you are sitting in your back garden or doing some work, you rear side doors must be locked if they are out of your line of sight. Windows should not be left open unless you are in that room. Please let us look after your property and make it as hard to steal as possible.
