Update

Now evenings are getting lighter and the temperature warms things up, and we are tempted to throw open the windows wide, please remember that there are still thieves and burglars around. You need to make sure that windows and doors are not left open or insecure while you are not in the premises and please do not leave valuables on display in an open window or door area in case they are stolen. The same is advice is given for motorist leaving sunroofs and vehicle windows rolled down.
If you have a smart phone please think about the find my phone apps, these are really useful as they give you a general idea where your phone could be if you think you have lost it, and some of them can wipe the information on it so that others can not access it, which really is useful as most of us hold our life details on our phones.
I urge motorists to remember this, when the weather is particularly wet leave a few minutes earlier to arrive safely, I urge drivers to NOT DRIVE THROUGH LOCAL FFORDS, AA and RAC often will refuse to recover vehicles stranded like this unless the towing eye can be accessed with out having to go under water. There may also be mud on the road as things start to get busy for the farmers and ploughing fields etc.
Springtime and thoughts turn to allotments, gardens and bike rides, please be aware that over the winter there have been shed burglaries and thefts and some times these do not get noticed as and when they happen, especially if you have a shed on an allotment and you have not been there for a while.
I am happy to come an etch property such as spades and the likes as well as pedal cycles if you care to contact me.
If we find property and can identify the item to a looser we can act accordingly to the people found with the items, where as it is more difficult to action a suspect if there is no identifiable property.

REMEMBER please report anything you notice to be suspicious and please provide the call taker with as much description and details as possible, like vehicle make, model, colour and direction of travel. If it refers to people we would like to know rough height, build, hair colour and length, if they has any marks or scars or tattoos you noticed also what they were wearing and what direction they were heading.

Please if in doubt call 101 which is the switchboard and they will put you through to the Force Control Room
