HAMPSHIRE ALERT
Hampshire Alert has issued a report recently about thefts of gardening equipment and other machinery from sheds and outbuildings in the Fordingbridge and Ringwood area. There is also a separate report about a suspicious male with an Irish accent who has been seen driving a small white van in much the same area selling cheap garden tools. There is no suggestion that these two are connected!

ALARMED PADLOCKS
In view of the above you may be interested to know that Alarmed Padlocks are for sale at New Forest District Council Information Offices – £10 each.
The shock and motion padlock alarm will act as a visible deterrent to intruders looking to break into vulnerable sheds, garages and other rural outbuildings. This hardened, weatherproof alarm has a powerful 110 decibel siren and is activated by movement. It was tested by the Hampshire Police Country Watch team who found it unbreakable and highly recommend the alarm.
The Safer New Forest Partnership is offering residents the chance to buy the padlock alarm for just £10, available from New Forest District Council information centres.
NATIONAL RURAL CRIME NETWORK
If you have not yet seen it on Hampshire Alert you may be interested in the NRCM survey and give your opinions about policing in our area.
To do so visit: http://www.nationalruralcrimenetwork.net/research/internal/national-rural-crimes-survey-2015/?member=NW
It takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
