Crime: 24 March 2011

First, can I welcome a new scheme to our flock – Silvertrees Drive, off Altwood Road. We had a wonderful meeting last night, which was really well attended. As always, we had lots of laughs and I hope they enjoyed it and learned a lot.

CRIME:BISHAM, COOKHAM, HURLEY, THE WALTHAMS, LITTLEWICK GREEN & KNOWL HILL:

21/3 Monday 11 a.m. / 4 p.m. Cherry Garden Lane.Burglary via forced rear window – jewellery stolen. When the police did house to house enquiries a neighbour remembered seeing 2 men in yellow hi Viz jackets wandering up and down driveways, but thought nothing of it. The mere fact that she remembered it, means she felt it was suspicious at the time – her attention had been drawn. We have instincts for a purpose. Anything like this should be phoned through to the PEC on 0845 8 505 505 or photographed ! JUST IN CASE !
