We have today, 4th October, received the following message from PCSO Mani at e-cops:
“We need your help with the following suspicious circumstances and crimes… if you saw anything, please call us on 0345 456 456 4 or call Crimestoppers, an independent charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
On September 15th at Pettit’s Lane, Dry Drayton, unknown persons have forced a property open. Very few items were removed from the property as the offenders were disturbed by neighbours.
On 22nd September at Hillcrest, Bar Hill, unknown persons have entered a property in the area and stolen a bunch of keys. There were no visible points of entry into the property but the vehicle was stolen during the night.
On September 22nd at Viking Way, Bar Hill unknown persons have used a screwdriver to jemmy the lock of a vehicle in the area and gain entry.
On September 18th at Pettit’s Lane Dry Drayton a local resident reported a man in the area behaving suspiciously. He was seen loitering for 30 minutes.
If you see anything suspicious in your neighbourhood please report to your team and do get in touch if you have any information on any of the above situations. You can contact the team on 0345 456 456″
In addition to the above, there was another burglary at a house in Dry Drayton in mid September. If you search on the postcode CB23 on this page on the police website:
https://www.cambs-police.co.uk/myneighbourhood/crimeinfo.asp
among the 56 crimes listed there which took place between 1/9/10 and 4/10/10 you will find further burglaries during this period in Hardwick (3), Coton (3), Haslingfield (2), Cambourne, Toft and Elsworth. Not every reported crime gets listed there – so even this is an understatement of local burglary activity. There is clearly a need for us to be vigilant (in the daytime and after dark) and respond to PCSO Mani’s plea.
