Dear all – we have recently got shot of our barking dog. Could this be related to the large amounts of dog dung on the pavement?
However, I have noticed a large number of caterwauling cats. Can anything be done about this?
Attached and below is the latest damage on the crime front. Death to all crims.

Following on from last weeks' thought that mobile phones are the 'root of all evil' (not only as a target for thieves but, in addition, how many people have been caught out by the mis-directed or undeleted text!) I now propose that we outlaw vehicles as well. If it wasn't for the vehicle crimes this week there would be hardly any crime to report on at all. Somebody quite rightly pointed out last week that surely it would be better to 'un - invent' thieves and robbers. Very true, but while we wait for that to happen we will be re-doubling our efforts to make life more difficult for those that do exist.
In all seriousness we must never reach the point when it is routine or expected for people to be victims of crime. Following last weeks edition I received anecdotal evidence of several incidents of young people being targeted for their phones, ipods etc that have gone unreported. Not all on our ward but even so I would encourage anyone who hears of an incident of this type to bring it to our attention. If we have a fuller picture of what is happening it gives us a greater chance of dealing with it.
Another encouraging week regarding residential burglary with only the one offence reported
Burglary:
Shepherds Hill Fri 1700 - 0745 Front window forced Laptop / games console
No non residential offences either this week. Marvellous.
Robbery:
No robberies. No distraction thefts.......nothing, unless you know differently.
Vehicle Crime:
Avenue Road Sat - Mon 1700 - 0745 Suzuki - Window smashed ipod / sat nav
Cecile Park Sat - Mon 1930 - 0815 Peugeot wheels stolen
Gladwell Road Mon - Tue 0730 - 1120 Fiat stolen
Shepherds Hill Thu 2000 - 2200 Mercedes stolen
Dickenson Road Thu - Fri 1730 - 0730 Astra tyres slashed
Middle Lane Sat 2330 Peugeot - Window smashed no theft
Drylands Road Sat - Sun 1845 - 0900 Citroen- Window smashed purse / cash
Shepherds Hill Sat - Sun 2200 - 1100 Peugeot - Door bent back cd player
Wolesley Road Thu - Sun 2100 - 1715 Fiat - Door forced Cash
A fair smattering of offences again this week. In at least 2 of these there were signs of sat navs having been used in the vehicle(marks on the windscreen / suckers on the windscreen) which, unfortunately, is a sign to would be thieves that the vehicle is worth breaking into. It is no guarantee but the absence of any evidence of valuables being present does reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target. It's also interesting to note that most of the offences took place over the weekend.
Other News:
A couple of really dangerous incidents during the week. The damage to the vehicle in Middle Lane ( listed above) was caused by an object smashing the window of a moving vehicle. The same happened to a bus and this caused injury to the driver. The injury was thankfully minor but the potential implications are obvious. No suspects were seen.
We have been continuing progress with the youth panel and dealing with the issue of the Town Hall square security. The level of Anti social behaviour (coming to our attention at least) seems to have reduced, however I am aware of an incident over the weekend where a group of youths caused some damage on the Broadway after leaving a party. From what I know they were not local and were heading off at the time.
A short edition this week due to other commitments. Please don't forget to contact us regarding anything you think we might be interested in.
Hopefully next weeks edition will include a summary of the famous Carling Cup triumph of the mighty Spurs.....hopefully!
