Car Crime Continues

Officers from the Waddesdon Neighbourhood Policing Team are urging local residents to be vigilant following a number of thefts from vehicles reported recently in the area.

Overnight on Sunday 13 to Monday 14 January vehicles were targeted in Nether Winchendon and Ashendon. Two thefts were reported in Upper Pollicott, Ashendon and three in Nether Winchendon. Property stolen included iPods, sat nav systems, small change and keys.

All the vehicles had been left unlocked

Please make sure you lock your vehicle when it is unattended and remove any valuables from it. Do not be tempted to ‘hide’ items in the boot or glovebox etc – opportunist thieves know all the hiding places.

Make sure you report anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles IMMEDIATELY to the Police. If you can, get a description of them, along with details of any vehicle they may be using, especially the registration number. Don’t leave it to someone else to make the call – you might be the only witness.

If you have any information in relation to any of these thefts please call the 24 hour Police Enquiry Centre on 101 and ask for the information to be passed on to PC Spenceley or PCSO Sue Jones from the Waddesdon Neighbourhood Policing Team.

If you don’t want to speak to the Police or give your details you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
