Information
sought - Last week there was an incident at the Sheet Anchor in Baldwins
Gate
Dear Watch Member
Last week there was an incident at the Sheet Anchor in Baldwins Gate when an offender was disturbed in one of the pubs outbuildings.
Whilst no offender was apprehended it is perhaps relavent to remind you all of the need to be aware of such activity in and around your local somewhat isolated drinking holes and to report any suspicious activity at the time to the police in order to get a quick response.
House burglary in Blore Road Hales
Dear Watch Member,
BK53 16449
Between 7.45am and 11.45pm on Tuesday 9th March a burglary was committed
at a dwelling in Blore Road, Hales. During the temporary absence of the
occupier it is believed entry was gained through a rear window. Once inside
a search was made. Stolen were 2 demi jars containing cash. No one was
seen or heard. Please make your neighbours aware of this burglary. Remind
them to be extra vigilant and security conscious and to report any suspicious
person or incident to the police immediately.
Quiz Night
We raised £94 towards our picking and planting.
Many thanks to those who sent prizes for the raffle and/or attended the evening.
