Apology for the lack of Police reports from the local team over the past couple of months. It has been a very busy summer for us, what with the Olympics and local incidents of flooding. Hopefully now that the dust has settled we will get back to updating you monthly what we are doing.
Over the past month there have been 68 incidents reported to us from the Buckfastleigh area. 9 of these related to domestic incidents at the same address. As a result of these incidents a male has been arrested and given bail conditions that hopefully will prevent further issues. 4 incidents relate to calls about local youths riding a mini moto or quad bike in the Gipsy Lane area. We have increased patrols in this area in order to catch those involved with a few to seizing the vehicles and dealing with those riders for any traffic offences that are detected. Youngsters often find riding these vehicles fun, and they probably are as long as they are used in the proper environment. Insurance cover is needed when they are used on the road to protect other road users in the event of accidents and if we find a rider without insurance they may find themselves liable to a hefty fine and 6 penalty points being put on their licence. This may in turn affect their ability to obtain insurance in the future.
We have had 14 crimes reported to us from the town which include 4 assaults, 1 offence of possession drugs, 2 offences under the communications act (often linked to either making malicious calls or sending malicious messages), 1 burglary, 4 theft offences. The burglary offence was to a business unit where entry was gained by forcing the door and cash taken. 2 of the theft offences related to Charity boxes being stolen from The Mill Shop and the South Devon Railway Station.
One male was arrested for dangerous driving after a police officer witnessed him driving through a no entry sign and wrong way along one way street. On stopping the vehicle he was subsequently found to be over the alcohol limit and was also arrested for this offence.
1 crime was reported to us from the Dean Prior area which relates to credit card fraud offence. 5 incidents were reported to us all related to the A38.
From the West Buckfastleigh area we have had no crimes reported to us. There were 4 incidents reported to us, 1 of which related to four males seen riding motorbikes in private fields and on the road with no helmets. 2 related to a domestic and incident between neighbours whilst another related to a male who had got stuck in some mud.
Holne was crime free. 3 incidents were reported, one relating to card cloning and two relating to people who had got themselves lost, and needed our help to find them..
