Neighbourhood Watch update on incidents in December 2013
In December 2013, fifty two incidents were reported on Beat 3, of those nineteen
relate to crime. There were three domestic related assaults, one in North Waltham,
one in Oakley and one at Popham Service station on the A303. A further low level
non-domestic assault occurred which is to be resulted by way of Community
Resolution.
Six incidents of making off without payment for fuel occurred at the filling stations on
the A303 close to Popham which is on the edge of the beat boundary. A further
incident of theft of fuel from an HGV parked up overnight also occurred at the
location. Although the statistics for this area reflect on beat 3, there is no cause for
concern because there is no impact on the community as such due to the crime being
committed by persons travelling through the area via an arterial route.

Overnight on December 27th offenders forced entry to a garden shed in Sunnymead,
Oakley and stole three pedal cycles from within. A ‘Ribble’ racing bike valued at

Giant Defy was located the following morning by a dog walker on a track that leads
from beside the railway bridge in Hill Road leading to St John’s Road, the finder
kindly recovered it to his home address for safe-keeping. The seat was missing from
the bicycle, nothing of forensic value was on the property which has been returned to
the owner. The Ribble is described as white framed with lime green taping on the
handlebars, it has green wheels which also have orange and black on them. The Scott
bicycle is a mountain bike with a black frame that has yellow lettering on it.
