BUCKFASTLEIGH NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICE REPORT – FEBRUARY 2012

Devon and Cornwall Police Neighbourhood Police Report reproduced below:

Remember the new non urgent number is 101.

Over the past month there have been 36 incidents reported to us in Buckfastleigh. 5 related to anti social behaviour issues around the town.

I incident involved the use of mini motorcycles around some of the neighbourhoods,  which is an issue that has been a problem for us in the past and was raised as a concern during our last community consultation process.  Various names had been passed to us to assist in identifying those involved and after some good work by PC Steve Perrins and PCSO Kev Macleod 1 local male was caught riding his on the road.  This person has been reported for various traffic offences, including having no insurance and no driving licence and the mini moto has been seized.  Other males, who also own such bikes, have been spoken to regarding their use.

10 crimes reported to us from the town which include 6 burglaries. 2 burglary offences are related to tenant issues, whilst another relates to shed being broken into and drinks stolen. 1 was an attempt to enter a private house where a window was smashed. Police were called to a licensed premise in the town where the licensee had disturbed a local male on his property and was able to detain him until police arrived.  The male had attempted to steal bottles of alcohol and was found hiding after closing time behind the bar area.  This male has now been charged with a burglary to this premise and will be appearing at court.

3 crimes were reported to us from the Dean Prior area. 2 burglaries occurred on the same night at Dean Court where no property was stolen but damage was caused.   14 incidents were reported to us of which 10 related to traffic and the A38.

The West Buckfastleigh area remained crime free for the month but we had 2 incidents reported to us.  These involved a suspicious vehicle and a report of 2 missing young girls who were located safe and well.

Holne was both crime and incident free for the month.

Our next Police surgery will be held at Buckfastleigh Town Hall clerks office on the 15th March 2012 between 7pm and 8pm.

The local police team will be attending a Buckfastleigh Societies meeting on the evening of the 19th September to discuss local issues.

Our community priorities can be viewed on our website.  Over the next month we will be out across the area using our handheld speed detection device.  Concerns have been raised in relation to the speed some people drive through the town so we are looking to address this issue.

The Neighbourhood Team are now based at the new Police Station called Conway house at Dolbeare Meadow.  We can still be contacted via the central switchboard no. 101 or via e-mail at  Teignbridge@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk.  The number 999 should be used for all emergencies.
