Spate of crime in Leigh

Dean Oak Lane has had a number of crimes and suspicious happenings.

The Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator for Dean Oak Lane was contacted about a suspicious car which had been seen parked in the same place two days running.  He immediately rang our local policeman who discovered who the owners were and "paid them a visit"  There was, of course, no offence there, but I doubt if they will return to his beat!.

There had been a distraction burglary when a wallet containing cards and money was stolen.  The police came and took finger prints etc.  Another occupant further along the road reported a suspicious car parked at exactly the time of the burglary.  She was able to provide the police with details.  Some days later the wallet was discovered in a ditch in Norwood Hill with the cards inside, but the £80 gone.

In another part of Leigh lawn mowers and garden equipment was stolen from two houses, both more or less consecutively.

If you see something suspicious or there is a crime, please report it to your local Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator as well as to the police as quickly as possible.
