A message from Inspector Andy Young – Thames Valley Police
Whilst the number of victims of crime continues to fall in most crime types, the increase in the number of burglaries, which was anticipated with the lengthening of the hours of darkness, has occurred. At the present time this is particularly the case in the south of the town. Together with our colleagues in Local CID who have responsibility for investigating burglaries, we are putting extra patrols in those areas that have suffered the highest increase. We continue to prosecute, wherever possible, offenders who are hurting the community, and seek custodial sentences, with which we have had some success.
