Recent Thefts in Bottesford:

There have been several incidents in the village over recent days: the theft of a charity box and items being taken off two vehicles parked in the Grantham Road area including a set of ladders. Police are aware.

 

In the former a charity box collecting for Grantham ROCK (Rescue of Cats and Kittens) was stolen from outside a property in the Bowbridge area of the village last night.

Suspicious Trader:

We have recently received a report of someone providing a plumbing service in the area but possibly  using another bona fide traders contact details. Work is reported as being undertaken for cash with a receipt promised later which doesn’t materialise. The “trader” is described as a white male in his 50’s operating from a dark blue van with no signage. At the time of the reported incident he was wearing a bandage on one arm. If anyone knows who this “trader” is, or has had a similar experience, please contact NHW with details. In the meantime residents are advised to exercise caution in employing anyone fitting this description.
