Hello Resident,

We hope you are well, here is a quick update regarding crime in Burbage.

We have been completing work on the recent incidents regarding two suspects trying vehicle doors around Greenmoor Road, Troon Way and Manor Close areas on the morning of the 14th between 00:20 and 02:30. Thank you if you managed to send us CCTV, we are trying to identify these suspects. 

Thanks to a resident who found a bicycle, and our last Neighbourhood link message, we were able to re-unite a stolen bicycle (linked to the above incidents) with its owner. 

As there is always a chance certain types of people are about, please ensure vehicle doors are locked, no property is left inside and ensure items such as bicycles are locked and secure.

We received a report of a residential Burglary near Greenmoor Road where the patio doors have been damaged. It appears the target of this crime was a camper van on the drive, which thankfully has not been taken. If you own a caravan/camper van, please ensure wheel locks are used and lock gates/block it in with another vehicle if possible. 

Report of a theft of a Citroen Berlingo van from Lychgate Lane on the night of the 16th of November, between 21:50-22:50. The van has been recovered following it being involved in a road traffic Collison on Watling Street. This incident is currently being investigated. 24000685128

The Indoor Christmas market event was a huge success with plenty of residents attending. We also visited the Co-op for our monthly beat surgery. Concerns discussed during these events included residential burglary and vehicle crime. We met some lovely people which is always a pleasure. Big thanks to Jackie who always supports us in Burbage with events that we attend. 

Pc Josh and I have been completing some late-night patrols around Burbage. Lots of Christmas lights and trees already on display around the village. If you are going all out on displays and decorations this year, please just be mindful to lock up any larger items and put them in the garage/shed overnight if possible. A sad as it is, in previous years, some of these beautiful displays have been stolen overnight.  

Just a reminder that the Burbage Christmas Market will be on Windsor Street as usual on Friday the 29th of November from around 16:00 – 22:00. We will be in attendance with our crime reduction items. It is usually a great community event so please pop along. (Remember the road closures on Windsor street).  

Thank you and take care.
