Information Update - 15th February 2008
Vehicle Crime This year we have had a significant rise in vehicle crime all incidents have occurred during daylight hours and involved keys being left in the ignition. A recent incident in Trimdon Grange where a Ford Focus was stolen involved the unfortunate victim unloading bags of compost from his vehicle whilst he was at the rear of his property and out of view the suspect took his vehicle off his driveway. Another incident involved a vehicle with keys and engine running on a frosty morning awaiting to defrost, again whilst the victim is out of sight the suspects acts quickly and takes the vehicle. Please do not leave any keys in your vehicle for any length of time.

School Parking Can all parents please take extra care when parking in and around schools in the Trimdons. We have recent complaints of driveways being blocked and vehicles being left in dangerous positions on junctions. Anyone who does not adhere to the restrictions will receive a fixed penalty notice incurring a 30 pound fine, due to the volume of complaints received we are not in the position to issue any warning notices. |
