The October Police Report to the Parish Council on Monday highlighted the need for greater vigilance in longer, darker nights and poor weather, as these can be used to ‘cover’ crimes. Unusually, there was a crime recorded in Natland last month – theft from tools from a joiner’s van.
Thefts from farms and outbuildings remain the key focus in the area – as well as extra policing around half term, Halloween and Bonfire Night.
We have also been asked to publicise a ‘drop-in’ event with Richard Rhodes, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria, in the Westmorland Shopping Centre on Wednesday 6 November between 2pm and 4pm. There will be BBC television cameras there and a chance to meet him and discuss policing issues.
