Between 1:45pm and 2pm on Thursday 19th June a resident in Dark Lane heard a noise in the back garden and saw a white man, described as heavy build, with grey hair, running from the location.
A lawnmower and a chain saw had been taken from the shed.
Another shed burglary was reported on Elm Brook Close, sometime between Sunday 15th and Thursday 19th June – again a lawnmower was taken.
Please be vigilant with your own security and make sure that sheds and outbuildings are locked and consider using a shed alarm, which can be purchased at little cost from most garden centres and DIY stores.
Further crime prevention information and advice can be found on the Thames Valley Police site.
Make sure anything suspicious is reported to the police (at the time it is happening). Try to get a description of them, along with details of any vehicle they may be using, especially the registration number.
