Delamere Forest School, Norley has been subject to a Burglary on three separate occasions last week. Each crime took place overnight and extensive damage was caused and copper piping stolen. Following police enquiries a male has been arrested and is currently on bail pending forensic enquiries
A car has been broken into whilst parked on the driveway of a house in Chester Road, Helsby and a laptop and wallet stolen. Please remove any valuables from your vehicles when unattended, even when at your home address.
Offender(s) have stolen lead off the roof of Blakemere Craft Centre, Sandiway. Metal Theft generally is a problem nationally and is certainly a priority for my staff on the Rural Area. Potential targets for criminals exist in all our communities, especially older property in remote locations. Please report any suspicious activity as this is not a victimless crime with considerable damage often being caused as a result of the theft.
2 Houses in the Nantwich Road and Springhill Area of Tarporley were targeted by thieves, overnight on Wednesday 11th April. A handbag and van was stolen from one location during the Burglary and a garage entered with nothing taken at the other. It is believed the offenders are from outside the area and any reports of suspicious vehicles of persons would be welcome.
I am seeing an increase in the number of reports of unwelcome 'cold calling' across the Rural Area. The general theme is that occupants of houses are approached by individuals purporting to be 'tradesmen' pointing out a problem such as with the roof or driveway and that they can do the job there and then at a cheap price. By way of an example an elderly lady in Cuddington was the victim of such an approach in respect of her roof being overgrown with moss and was actually taken to the ATM Cash Machine to withdraw the money to pay for the work. Please be cautious if you experience a similar approach and phone the police if you have any concerns. Looking out for any vulnerable neighbours in the same way would also be appreciated.
