Crime: 17 June 2010

Some really good arrests yesterday of two prolific offenders. They have been associated with thefts from properties being re-developed or left empty. If you have a property which fits either of these categories, can you keep your eye on it ? Please phone through anything suspicious to us on the 0845 8 505 505 number. One of our Co-ordinators in Boyne Hill found 2 men with a flatbed lorry, going up and down their road, looking in skips and gardens. He saw them off ! I hope we would all do the same. Please let us know on the 0845 8 505 505 number asap. We can always track the lorry and have words with the driver

In Datchet yesterday, we had reports of a silver Mercedes on German plates flagging people down and offering to sell them jewellery. The driver apparently needed money urgently, to get home ! Anything like this - straight through to the police please !
