Dear Resident

A burglary to a shed has occurred in the Eastwell Road area of Goadby Marwood between the 10th and 15th February where chainsaws have been targeted. One is Husqvarna 455 Rancher with a .325 chain. If anyone recalls seeing any suspicious activity in this area please reply here or call 101 quoting crime reference 25000093207. 

Occasionally when we do recover stolen items such as power tools it can be challenging to get them back to its rightful owner. Here are some steps you can take in the unfortunate event of having them stolen that can increase the chances of them being returned.

- Property mark your items. Some tools can be painted with your name or postcode and forensic marking is also an option

- Take photographs of them and keep an inventory including serial numbers. 

 - You can also register any item that has a serial number with Immobilise.
