Dear Members,

Here’s a quick round up from me and the rest of the Radford Neighbourhood Policing Team.

What’s been happening:

Vehicle crime

We have had one report of a theft which happened on TREHERNE ROAD. Thieves have stolen number plates from a Vauxhall Corsa. A simple way to protect your number plates from being stolen is to replace the screws with anti-theft ones which can be purchased from a number of automotive stores.

Whilst on the subject of vehicles, across the four wards three vehicles have been seized for no insurance and two for no tax. 

A vehicle stolen from Bedworth has also been recovered following a call from a concerned resident.

Burglary 

An attempted burglary has been reported on FOSTER ROAD which happened between 6:00 pm and 08:00 pm on Wednesday 20th November 2024. The occupant has returned home where it was noticed that the front door handle had been completely removed. Thankfully no entry was gained.

Good news 

Officers spotted two males pushing a motorbike. Both males abandoned the motorbike and ran off. After a short foot chase one male was found hiding in bushes. Checks on the motorbike showed it was stolen from the City Centre in July. Male arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle and going equipped.

Tis the season

Whilst out on our patrols we are noticing more and more residents putting their Christmas decorations up 😊 and no doubt starting to buy presents.  Please think about security whilst Christmas shopping:
