Hungerford August 2011
Neighbourhood Police Team
Update from PCSO Debbie Randall
As August fast approaches it’s my favourite time of the year, the kids
have broken up from School for 6 weeks, I love it! I will be spending time
in the skate park, not on the boards but with the kids as I don’t believe
an old dog can always learn new tricks but I do enjoy getting to know them
all a little better. So if you see me up there, please pop over for a chat.
We have had two arrests this month for being in possession of drugs. If anyone
has any information on drug activity then call the Non emergency number 101
or my mobile 07970 145703.
We have had another theft from an insecure vehicle on Hungerford common, where
a handbag was taken from under the car seat. Insecure vehicles are an easy
target for criminals which led to work tools being taken from a van. I cannot
stress enough about leaving valuables in vehicles DON’T make it easy
for criminals.
Another vehicle crime job was in Ramsbury Drive. A vehicle was damaged after
the door frame was levered but luckily they did not gain entry. We believe
this was a possible attempt to steal the vehicle.
The team have been working alongside the John O’Gaunt School this month
to assist in ‘Truancy Sweeps’ within the area. We enjoy working
with the pupils at the school and they always seem to be keen and helpful.
The carnival came and went without any problems. It was great to see so many
families enjoying the sunshine. The sun came out just in time and the procession
was enthusiastic and cheerful. Well done to everyone who entered the event
as it does take up so much time and effort.
Two dates for your diaries. Firstly the 17th August, where you can “Have
Your Say”, come along and let me know if you have any issues you need
to discuss I will be there 09.30 to 10.30 and on the 20th August the Vintage
Fashion Fayre I will be there from 15.30 to 16.30 both these are being held
at the Town Hall. Look forward to seeing you.
On checking how many crimes we have had this month in Hungerford I found 47.
These were mostly making off without payment of fuel, domestic related incidents
and child protection issues. When checking the database against this same
time last year it is showing just one less at 46.
