Briefings from your Local Policing TeamNovember 7th, 2011Crime Trends Three vehicles were broken into whilst they were parked and unattended at a car park by the Black Hill at Longtown, whilst the owners were off walking. This was on Sunday 30th October during the afternoon and property, including handbags, was stolen from each vehicle. Overnight on 2nd/3rd November, a large red engineering bucket, 7'6" wide, was stolen from a farmyard at Lulham, near Madley. About 5pm on Friday 4th November, an attempt was made to steal scrap metal from a buildings in Llandinabo, but the would be thieves were disturbed and made off. Several trailers had wiring taken from them sometime overnight last night (6th/7th November) whilst they were parked in a farmyard in Holme Lacy. This may well be connected to the thefts from farm machinery in Holme Lacy last week. Suspicious Vehicles A white car-derived van with an orange light on the top - P862AD* - was seen in a field at Cobhall Common about 12 noon on Wednesday 2nd November, along with a black car, part registration JUJU. There were two males in the van, the driver had spiky hair, it is not clear how many occupants were in the car. When approached by the farmer, the males said they were 'just chatting' and left the area. Later that day, 3 batteries were found nearby, hidden in a hedge. Enquiries are being made. On Thursday 3rd November at about 11am, a yellow Ford transit van N112PB* was in the Madley area, there were two male occupants in the vehicle, asking for scrap. The owner of this vehicle is known to police, keep an eye out for it please. Also on 3rd November, in the afternoon, the occupant of a blue Ford transit tipper was found in the garden of a public house in Craswall, when challenged the male said they were looking for scrap. There were two middle aged male occupants of the vehicle, and the registration number was K85*YUK. A white Ford transit van V608XX* was seen in Garway Hill at about 11.30am today (7th), there were two male occupants, and were paying attention to a trailer, and asked the owner if it was for sale, which it wasn't. Suspicious Incidents A horse in a field in Marlas,near Kilpeck, had its mane plaited sometime between 3.30pm and 9.45pm on Saturday 5th November. There were two horses in the field, but only one had been interfered with. There is a theory that manes are plaited as a signal to horse thieves indicating which horses are worth stealing, however, there are no records of any horses having been stolen after having had their manes plaited. An investigation by Dorset police discovered that it may be 'Knot Magic', a practice carried out by white witches when a spell is cast! Apparently this has to happen on wet and windy nights, but I'll leave it to you to decide which, if either theory fits!
