Local Break-ins
An industrial unit in Winchendon Road, Chearsley was broken into overnight Monday August 3 and Tuesday 4. A chainsaw was stolen. This is being linked to several allotment sheds and outbuildings in Quainton Road, Waddesdon which were broken into on the same night when a strimmer and broken hedge cutter were stolen. Chearsley Cricket Club has also been broken into the previous week when money was stolen.
Anyone who has any information about these incidents is asked to contact the 24hr service 101. The local neighbourhood Policing team based at Waddesdon consider that the Waddesdon area is generally a safe area and it is hoped that these are isolated incidents, but it serves as a reminder that the security of sheds and garages should be checked. Several offences in an around Stone have occurred recently mostly targeting tools and other valuable items left in vehicles overnight.
