Police Report. PCSO Airey told Council that there were 4 reported crimes for North Leverton during January. All involved vehicles – 2 thefts – a car from Main Street on 11th and a quad bike from Southgore Lane on 23rd and damage to 2 further vehicles - on Main Street on 6th January and Southgore Lane on 27th January. DCllr Naish mentioned that residents had complained about a white van parked at the NL crossroads very close to the junction. PCSO Airey said that he had asked the owner of the van not to park so close to the junction, thereby blocking visibility, and he will monitor the situation from now This month there have been eight reported crimes of interest across the whole beat area. This compares with three crimes reported throughout December 2019 and two crimes in the same month last year. So far this year, from 01/04/2019, there have been seventy seven crimes of interest reported across the beat area. This compares with sixty four reported in the same period last year. As such, ten months into the tracking year, these figures equate to an increase in reported crime in that period of thirteen crimes. This month there has been four reported incident of anti-social behaviour across the whole beat area. This compares with four reported incidents for December 2019 and eight reported for the same month in 2019. The anti-social behaviour umbrella covers a wide range of incident types including hoax calls to the emergency services, found/ abandoned vehicles and wildlife/ animal issues. Although this report is being completed when we are often greeted with dark, cold and wet conditions in the mornings, I am sure the gardeners amongst you will be itching to get out there and set about repairing the damage caused by the winter in general. It will not be long before the spring planting kicks in as well. With this in mind, I would ask you to make sure you lock away all of your tools after gardening. Not only are they vulnerable to thieves, but if they are left outside they could be used to break into or cause damage to your homes, garages and sheds. So while you might not be too bothered if someone steals that rusty old spade from your back garden, remember that the same spade could be used by a burglar to force open a door or window to your, or your neighbour’s property. You should be trying to stop people getting into your back garden altogether by locking gates, and always make sure that your garages and sheds are locked, secured and ideally alarmed. If your shed has a window, make sure that it is frosted glass or has a curtain over it so people cannot see what is inside. Mark your tools with your postcode and house numbering more than one place, preferably by scratching into the metal or wood. Their value to a thief will be reduced if they are permanently marked in some way. Try and chain tools and bicycles together, and chain them to a structure of the shed or garage if you can. Taking these kind of simple measures will deter the opportunist thieves out there and could stop you becoming a victim of crime. January also saw an increase in catalytic convertor thefts from vehicles across rural East Bassetlaw. These thefts are, usually, only discovered when vehicles are started up for use, can cause a degree of distress at the time, and are quite expensive to replace. I have also received telephone calls from residents over the last couple of months wishing to advise me that they have received calls where the purpose of the same was to gain personal details, including bank details, from my caller in an attempt to scam them out of personal finance.
