We’ve been out and about and engaging with so many of you over the beat area throughout March. Report were received from members of the public concerned for a male in Markfield. Officers attended and been able to engage with residents concerned for his welfare to be able to offer the most suitable support - Whilst in Markfield, we have attended a report of a residential burglary and assisted with the securing of the property whilst conducting the initial investigative enquiries to support the ongoing investigation. - Visits have been made to the CO-OP stores in Ratby and Markfield whilst in the area, to continue to work collaboratively with staff in relation to recent incidents of theft. - A report of damage having been caused to the Groby Parish Cemetery was also received, officers were able to attend and liaise with staff at the location. - We were able to attend the Stanton Under Bardon Primary School, to visit the Year 1 class to talk all things Police. It was a fantastic opportunity to answer the pupils’ questions and show them the Police car and it’s flashing lights. We think it was a definite hit! PC Amy, came away with a fantastic drawing from one of the students! Investigations into reported Antisocial Behaviour in Ratby where large groups of youths were causing concern to both residents and businesses alike have proved fruitful with identifying some of those involved. We increased patrols in these specified locations across varying times to engage with and disband the large groups of youths. These individuals were stopped and their details obtained, one such individual was conveyed home to discourage any further issues. Working collaboratively with Hinckley Bosworth Borough Council, we will be issuing appropriate disposals in due course. Two men have been arrested following a burglary in Market Bosworth where amongst other items a vehicle was taken. Upon being disturbed by neighbours they abandoned some of their loot and made off in the stolen vehicle. Unfortunately for them contained within the vehicle was an electrical item which could be tracked. Fellow Warwickshire Officers greeted the pair and after a short chase through a field were promptly arrested. Our counterparts in Warwickshire are taking on the case as the dastardly duo appear to have some questions to answer about some other offences in their area. The investigation is very much still at the early stage and evidence gathering continues. 
Finally, thank you to the Markfield Community Church for welcoming us to their Coffee Morning, we were delighted to be able to speak to a number of local residents and enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and some biscuits. |
