CAR PARK THIEVES – ANDREW’S MARE
Thieves have been operating recently at Andrew’s Mare car park. In one case a rear windscreen was smashed even though there was nothing whatsoever in the car and there has been another similar incident.
The Police have been informed and will hopefully keep an eye out but obviously cannot be there the whole time.
A notice in your windscreen stating that nothing valuable has been left inside might help prevent such occurrences but is not, of course, foolproof!
If you see anything or anyone suspicious you should ring the Police immediately on 101.
If you see a crime actually being carried out ring 999.

SHEDS AND CATS
A Parishioner asks if we could remind people to check inside sheds, garages etc before closing them for a time to ensure that inquisitive cats are not inadvertently trapped inside.
Hers came home after being missing for more than 24hrs extremely hungry and tired but clean and unruffled, and she suspects that it might have been so trapped.
