Police updateFebruary's police update is now available.
Welcome to February’s Faringdon East Neighbourhood update from Sgt Chris Ball, Neighbourhood Specialist Officer Dave Bleach and PCSO’s Myra Stokes and Susan Haynes.
As you are probably aware the Faringdon East area has been the subject of significant press attention in the past month, with two high profile cases that reached the national press. We have worked hard to ensure we maintain our usual high standards of community reassurance by maintaining a high visible presence and targeted patrols.
On the 18th January PCSO Haynes attended the Fernham and Shellingford Woman’s Institute meeting and delivered a safety talk which was well received. Personal safety and crime prevention advice was given and property marking kits were distributed to interested parties.
We are currently actively searching for volunteers to co-ordinate the neighbourhood watch scheme within their communities and villages. If you are interested then please contact your local PCSO or call 101 and ask for the Faringdon neighbourhood team.
Following numerous lengthy and detailed investigations I am pleased to feedback the successful prosecution of William Vinson who was sentenced to 9 years in prison following over 101 distraction burglaries, 19 of which took place in Oxfordshire with 1 in Faringdon and 1 in Southmoor.
On the 31st December 2011, Kingston Bagpuize post office was the subject of a criminal damage. PC 6251 Gorman of the Faringdon community policing team is conducting an investigation into the matter. In response to the criminal damage we conducted reassurance patrols and on the 9th January we conducted a have your say event outside of the post office. No one identified any concerns.
Our local beauty spots and public car parks are still being targeted by thieves who rely on people leaving valuables on display in their vehicles. Please be mindful of this when you next attend a beauty spot and don’t leave valuables on display and if at all possible please remove valuables from cars all together.
