UPDATE FOR MARCH 2012
Criminal Damage - During March, Eco Scooters, the Post Office and Allwoods Butchers on Forest Road were victims of criminal damage by means of windows being smashed at the front of the shops. After Police enquiries, three suspects were identified and each one has been arrested and dealt with. We believe this sends out a positive message that mindless vandalism will not be tolerated and we will do everything we can to identify the culprits and bring them to justice.
Drugs - After a recent Police Operation in New Ollerton, a male has been arrested after finding a quantity of cannabis at this home address. He is currently on bail for drug offences. If you have any information regarding drugs, please contact the Police or alternatively, contact Crime stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
ASB - We are appealing for any information into the recent anti social behaviour at the field at the rear of Pine Avenue which is affecting residents residing on Pine Avenue. There have been 21 calls regarding anti social behaviour reported in the last two months which include stone throwing, trespass, criminal damage and general nuisance. We need to identify who is responsible so if you have any information, please call one of the numbers below.
For Information Ollerton Police Station is open between the hours of 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. This is soon due to change to 10am to 6pm. Date of the change will be confirmed in next update.

Update February 2012
Theft from Motor Vehicles – We had a spate of car crime recently where at least ten vehicles were attacked overnight in Ollerton and Boughton. The PCSO’s began their enquires and within two days, they identified and detained the suspect who was then arrested and admitted all the offences. He was charged and is awaiting sentencing. To prevent your vehicle being attacked, please ensure that it is locked at all times and valuables are not left on display.
Anti-social behaviour – We are currently receiving a higher number of calls in relation to anti-social behaviour in Ollerton and Boughton. The majority of calls seem to be stones and snowballs being thrown at house windows. We have already been given several names of those responsible and these individuals have received home visits from Police and ASB officer. These issues are taken very seriously and those responsible will receive warning letters from the council in relation to tenancy and home visits from the Police. If you have any information on this, please call the number below.
Parking issues – We have had further complaints about parking issues at Forest View Junior School on Walesby Lane. Please be mindful when taking/collecting children from school that you are not blocking the traffic from flowing. We will be paying attention to the area and anyone found to be blocking the highway will be issued with a ticket.
CRIME PREVENTION
YOUR HOME
Contrary to popular belief, most domestic burglaries are committed by ‘opportunist’ thieves looking for the easiest way into your home without being seen or disturbed. Often these are ‘spur of the moment’ decisions made when an easy target present itself such as an open window, valuables being left on view or lapses in security. Take some time to assess the security of your home and take positive action to upgrade it. By building home security into your daily routine you will greatly reduce the risk of a burglary taking place.
SNEAK IN BURGLARIES
As many as one in five burglaries occur because windows and doors are left open! Particularly during the day. This increases in the summer months to one in three.
• Always keep your doors and windows secure even when you are in
• Don’t leave valuables near the door
• Make sure you keep your keys, including car keys, handy but out of sight
• Use door chains where fitted
Genuine callers will knock, wait, have identification and will usually be known to you.
ARE YOU IN?
Try to make your home look occupied while you are out. Invest in plug in timers for lamps and radios. Tune your radio to a station that has mostly talking.
WINDOWS
One in three burglars get in through a back window. Window locks that can be seen may prevent or deter a burglar from forcing the window, because having to break glass increases the risk of attracting attention. Window locks are inexpensive and can be purchased from DIY stores and fitted easily. Remember to remove the keys from locked windows and keep them in a safe place out of sight.
BURGLAR ALARMS
Have a look at your neighbour’s houses. If they have alarms and you do not, then you need one. An intruder alarm installed and used properly can deter burglars.
An alarm is not a substitute for installing and using good quality locks and bolts.
ALWAYS set your alarm when leaving the property or going to bed.
MAIN DOORS
All exterior wooden doors should be fitted with at least a five-lever mortise lock. Locks however are only as good as the door and frame so make sure they are in good condition. Patio doors and French widows should have top and bottom bolts.
KEYS
Some burglaries and car thefts are committed after keys are hooked through letterboxes and windows. Remember to keep your keys in a safe place, out of sight and well away from doors and windows
GOING ON HOLIDAY
Cancel any deliveries of newspapers or milk. If possible get a neighbour or friend to open and close curtains and remove mail out of sight. Remember to use lamps on timer switches when it is dark.
OUTSIDE YOUR HOME
PERIMITER SECURITY
Don’t let your garden provide cover for the burglar. Hedges or fences at the front of your home should be limited to 1 metre in height. At the rear, hedges, fences, or walls should be 1.8 metres high. Gates should be the same height and padlocked. You can further deter a burglar climbing into your property by placing a trellis along the top of your fence or plant prickly or thorny bushes, such as berberis or roses alongside the fence.
LIGHTING
Fit security lights. These can be floodlights controlled by passive infra red (PIR) detectors that activate when they see movement. Low wattage lights controlled by ‘dusk to dawn’ sensors stay on all night and can cost as little as 1p per night in electricity.
GARDENS
Gardens should be clear of anything that the burglar might use to break into your home. Clear away gardening tools when you have finished. Move ladders, tables, chairs, wheelie bins or chain and padlock them to a strong anchorage point. Security mark expensive items you leave in your garden.
GARDEN SHEDS AND GARAGES
Fit good quality close-shackled padlocks to doors and keep them locked. Add reinforcements to doors and windows including grilles. Consider wiring a shed or garage to your house burglar alarm system.
GOOD NEIGHBOURING
If you see anyone acting suspiciously, call the police. Make a note of any vehicle registration numbers, the description of the person and the time.
