Ashburton Rural Areas Neighbourhood Report June 2013

There have been a total of 23 incidents reported to us from the rural areas surrounding Ashburton.

 

Bickington

 

We had 1 report of a domestic incident which was resolved peacefully, three traffic related reports, none of which resulted in any injuries.

There were also two false 999 calls originating from Bickington, thankfully these were made in error.

 

Woodland, and Buckland in the Moor

 

Have reported no crimes or incidents to us in the last month.

 

Widecombe and South Dartmoor

 

We have had a total of 17 reports from this area. 8 of these are traffic incidents, again thankfully no one was injured in any of these.

1 potential rave was reported to us, the rave itself did not occur but we remain vigilant for these events.

3 suspicious vehicles were  also called in to us, all three were checked eventually and found to either not have committed any offences, or were simply lost.

 

2 other miscellaneous incidents were reported to us during June.

 

There were three calls regarding concerns for people’s welfare, two of which were not serious in the end. However, there was a serious incident at Spitchwick Common, involving an injury resulting from a fall onto some of the rocks at the Common. 3 specialist off road ambulances attended as well as Devon and Cornwall Constabulary. The injured person was eventually air lifted by helicopter to Derriford hospital
Thankfully the injuries sustained were not life threatening and they are making a good recovery.

We would like to remind you that Spitchwick Common gets extremely busy during the warm weather and that parking is very limited there.  We would also request that all litter is taken away with you after your stay.

 

 

Police surgeries will be held at the Community Hall in Ashburton, the next one being  13^th of August 2013

POLICE REPORT 12TH JUNE-9TH JULY 2013

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to update you on Policing matters in the town during the last month.

88 incidents were reported. 18 of these concerned the A38 and a further 10 were traffic related incidents in the town itself. Two reports of anti-social behaviour were received. We have also had 6 reports of young people using the swimming pool in Love Lane after hours. This is often in the early hours of the morning, much to the inconvenience of the nearby residents.

11 crimes were recorded. They included-

3 thefts

3 offences of criminal damage

3 common assaults

No burglaries were reported.

Arrests made include that  of a 26yr old male who assaulted a male in North Street and stole from the Spar on Wednesday 3^rd July. He has been charged to court with conditions not to enter the town centre.

Carnival week went very well from our point of view. Extra Policing on the evening of the Town Party helped to keep anti-social behaviour to a minimum. However, officers did have to deal with a number of confrontations between adults in the town centre in the early hours of the morning.

My next Police Surgery at the Information Centre is from 10-11am on Tuesday 13^th August.

I can be contacted at Conway House via the central no. 101 or via e-mail –Teignbridge@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk

Alternatively the totally confidential Crimestoppers no. 0800 555111 can be used to pass information to the Police.
