Crime: 25 January 2011

A busy weekend ! But we have made some good arrests of profile offenders. Just look at the car crime and consider the thieves' success rate ! Cars parked up overnight with items inside worth stealing, are 'Crime Attractors’. You do not want those opportunist thieves in your roads during the early hours. Please make each of your neighbours aware of this problem. If they leave a SAT NAV in the car or on display – they are putting you at risk !
