NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH UPDATE 23 MAY 2008

 

1.

Travellers have set up in Barns Close Quarry. PCSO Pete Williams is monitoring the situation.

Their caravan(s) is in the quarry but a trench has been dug across the entrance to prevent further entry. The trench does currently cut across the footpath to ensure further entry is barred.

It would appear that these are temporary visitors but vigilance is required.

It also provides rewards for information leading to the arrest and charging of wanted criminals.

In the last 12 months West Country Crimestoppers have received more than 2,000 useful calls, resulting in 101 arrests and charges, as well as recovered drugs with a street value of over £450,000 and nearly £47,000 worth of stolen goods.
