The following email from Sergeant Parish has been received by LOSRA and we publish it for those who may not be on the Surrey Police mailing list:

Please be aware that Spelthorne is currently experiencing an increase in shed breaks. This has been particularly prominent in the Stanwell, Sunbury and Ashford areas. Please can I ask that you spread the word to the communities in which you live to spend a few minutes checking the security of your sheds and securing any property therein? For a few pounds you can buy shed alarms, tamper prove hinges and other preventative items to deter offenders. 

Specifically in Stanwell the roads most affected are in the Cranford Avenue, Hillingdon Avenue and Osbourne Avenue area so please be very vigilant if you live (or know someone who lives) here. We will actively seek to prosecute the offender(s) if we catch them but we need your help to identify who is committing these offences.

Don't forget, we are putting regular news and updates on our Twitter and Facebook @SpelthorneBeat for the whole of the Borough so you can keep up with what we are doing.

Hope you are all well

Sgt 2895 Parish
