Briefings from your Local Policing Team

August 6th 2009

Last week two properties in Kingstone had outbuildings broken into.  This was overnight on Friday 31st July/Saturday 1st August, probably around 2am as one occupier was disturbed by her dogs barking and then heard the sound of someone walking along the track by her property.  A Husquavana 357XP chainsaw and a full fuel can of 2 stroke mixture was stolen from this property.

Further down the track, a garden shed was entered and a Ryobi brush cutter and two full plastic fuel cans containing unleaded fuel were taken.  A lawnmower was removed from the shed but left a short distance away, maybe the suspect was disturbed.

SmartWater

To date, we have sold in excess of 1000 kits in our community and you will have seen that most villages as well as some businesses are displaying the 'Thieves Beware - SmartWater in this area' signs.  In some cases we are selling the kits to household or businesses that have suffered a break-in, it is a good idea to obtain a kit before you are a victim!

It has proved to be an good deterrent to criminals, but only if the warning stickers are applied and the property marked!  I have spoken to several people who purchased kits some time ago, but have not 'got round to it yet'.  If you are one of these people, please check the 'sell by' date on your kit, as the solution has a limited shelf life whilst in the container.  Once applied to property, it is has been carbon tested to stay on it for in excess of 100 years!

If you would like to know more about the product, or would like to buy one at just £20.00, please get in touch.

Many thanks
