Dear All,
Would residents (particularly in the Bleakley Area) note that a garage on Bleakley Lane has been broken into and systematically looted. In addition a neighbour has seen hooded men looking into her windows in the early hours of the morning. Please report anything suspicious to the police and join the Neighbourhood Watch scheme if you have not already done so.

BURGLARY ATTEMPT ON GEORGE LANE – 21st January 2009
We suffered our 5th attempted burglary of the last 6 months yesterday afternoon at 12:15. The first three incidents resulted in thefts of several items from our stable block and occurred in the early hours. Thankfully our window cleaner disturbed yesterday’s attempt. The thieves were driving a large Red Van, possibly an Iveco Daily (larger than a Ford Transit) with a false licence plate (VP05 SXJ).
Sadly, the only solution for us appears to be the erection of a large fence – albeit temporarily until we can afford a stone wall to prevent them wandering in at will and threatening with crow bars. Please be vigilant and report any large red vans acting suspiciously as the Police may then be able to do something.
