NEIGBOURHOOD WATCH BULLETIN

Neighbourhood Watch have issued the following bulletin.

Firstly, thank you to all of you that came to see PC Foster and I at the Open Day o­n Saturday at Folkestone Police Station.  You certainly kept us busy! 

For those of you that requested stickers or booklets etc. they are o­n their way to you.

Your enthusiasm for Neighbourhood Watch was really encouraging and thank you so much for the good work that you do and your kind words.

I am linking all of the Shepway crime together o­n this occasion.

There was a burglary in Stone Street, Lympne yesterday lunchtime (9 April) between 1140 & 1300hrs.  There was a very untidy search after they struggled to actually gain entry to the rear of the property. Chocolate was stolen along with some jewellery and some antique coins. An implement used to gain entry was left behind.

Meanwhile in Saltwood at approx 0945hrs there was an attempted burglary.  Again at the rear of the property.  Entry was not made at this time, but also an implement used in trying to gain entry was left behind.  The offenders could well have been scratched or hurt as the gate that they tried to make entry through is covered by a rose bush that appears to be damaged.

On Saturday sometime between lunchtime and 2000hrs a car was stolen from the driveway of a property in Meadow Grove, Sellindge.  This vehicle was later found near Pedlinge with accident damage.

Finally fencing was damaged at two properties in Cobay Close, Hythe o­n Saturday night between 2100hrs & 2145hrs.
