In recent weeks there have been several thefts of Land Rovers in this area. The vehicles have been stolen at night, taken to a remote, but local, locations and stripped of all valuable parts. The assumption must be that this is a professional gang with the expertise to get around the vehicle's security systems and to quickly and efficiently remove it's component parts. If you own such a vehicle or a similar 4x4 it would be wise to take extra precautions to safeguard it at this time of heightened risk. In addition it is unlikely that the thieves are driving around randomly at night to identify target vehicles. It's more likely that they are being identified in advance so please be aware of strangers taking an unexplained interest in your property or vehicle.
If you notice any suspicious activity please report it to the police as soon as possible. Crime in progress call 999, otherwise call 101.
It's our village, our responsibility.
