From DWO PCSO Adam Charles:
Dear Residents
Please find below the crime record for the period to 14 March 2019.
Fortunately there’s been no burglaries although there has been two attempted burglaries.
Unfortunately Shortlands and surrounding areas have seen a spate of thefts from motor vehicles recently. If you see any suspicious vehicles and/or persons acting suspiciously around vehicles, then please call 999 if you believe they are in the process of committing a crime.
If you think later that something you saw didn’t appear right then please call either 101, the team number shown below or email us.
On a few occasions, people have stopped people from entering their vehicles and no damage has been caused. If this does happen please call 999 as this is a good opportunity to catch suspects. By going to your vehicle and attempting to enter it they’ve committed a crime. If they’re on your driveway and run off as a result of being disturbed before attempting entry then also call 999 as even though they haven’t committed an offence at that point the chances are they will try somewhere else nearby.
If officers can stop and search them they may be able to arrest them for going equipped to steal; if they don’t find anything, hopefully knowing that police are in the area will deter them.
If any of you have any gardeners, builders or other workmen please let them know about our tool marking scheme and we’ll be very happy to come round and mark their tools.
