Generally
Exmoor and surrounding beats have been fairly quiet, we have had a few
incidents of thefts from motor vehicles mainly at beauty spot areas where
people have left bags and wallets on display. This has resulted in the vehicles
being broken into and items stolen. I aim aiming to do some patrols in the
beauty spot areas to offer advice to motorists and take note of any vehicles
with items on display so that we can contact them to offer advice. This generally
is more of a summer season type crime when there are more people about taking
walks, but we have had this occur recently.
On Exmoor I
offer a Farm and Horse watch scheme, this is a free service and involves me
registering the person on the scheme to receive updates just as you do as
coordinators, advising them of any farm or horse related thefts and crimes. If
you or anyone you know would be interested in this scheme please pass on my
details
We have had
reports of suspicious vehicles in the past driving around farm yards looking
for scrap that type of thing. We are always interested in any vehicle
registration numbers as we can do a lot with these in trying to identify the possible
offender and build intelligence.
I also have
a work Facebook account under PCSO Linda Brooks and can easily be contacted on
here. The Facebook site is not to report crime on but general enquiries and a
place where I can advertise beat surgeries and any information of relevance.
Feel free to add me.
