ASHBURTON NEIGHBOURHOOD REPORT JUNE 2012
Over the past month 70 incidents were reported from Ashburton, 21 of these concerned the A38 and a further 6 were traffic related incidents in the town itself.
Only 6 incidents of anti-social behaviour were reported. These have all related to groups of noisy youths in the town, around North Street and the Bus stop. I will be reviewing these logs with a view to identifying those involved and then sending anti social behaviour warning letters out to them. These are an effective tool that can assist in ‘modifying ‘the behaviour of some people whilst in other cases they can be the first step towards an anti social behaviour order.
15 crimes were reported. They include 3 Burglaries, one of which related to an incident at the Silver Lion Jewellers on 8th June. 3 males from East Devon have been arrested in connection with this offence, with the investigation currently ongoing. 3 offences of assault were recorded along with 3 offences of criminal damage, which included damage being caused to the bus stop opposite East End Terrace. A 17yr old male from Buckfastleigh has been arrested and charged with this offence and 1 of the assaults.
In Bickington 9 incident reports were made. 2 of these were reports of a herd of cows on the A383. We received 2 reports of flooding on the A383 following torrential rain on !4th June. No crimes were recorded.
In Widecombe 2 incidents were reported, including a report of an abandoned canoe near Poundsgate. No crimes were recorded.
In June PCSO Jon Box has left us for pastures new in Plymstock, having worked from Ashburton for 4 years. Over this period he has covered both Ashburton and Buckfastleigh and has been a regular sight around the town. He has been replaced by PCSO Tamzin Campbell Moseley who will be based at Ashburton and will cover both towns until October until we are joined by 2 new PCSO’s.
Please report any suspicious activity or behaviour at the time on the new non-emergency telephone number of 101 – or use 999 in an emergency situation, ie if a crime is being committed.
My next Police surgery at the Ashburton Information Centre is from 10-11am on Wednesday 18th July.
I can be contacted at Ashburton Police Station via the Central no. 101 or via e-mail –Teignbridge@devonandcornwall.
Alternatively the totally confidential Crimestoppers no.0800 555111 can be used to pass information to the Police.
