Within the last 28 days there have been nine thefts from motor vehicles in the Vale of Belvoir, covering an area including Knipton, Belvoir, Bottesford, Eaton and Harby. This averages one vehicle attacked every three days!
Because of the help of Neighbourhood Watch members, it’s known that at least some of these have involved persons in a white Astra van and an ‘electric-blue’ Citroen Belingo van. The Belingo van was also seen acting suspiciously in the drive of a house in Bottesford, possibly ‘casing the joint’.

On Wednesday night – at around 20.30 – intruders were disturbed at the Post Office, in Knipton. The intruders had broken into the PO by forcing a rear window with a crow bar. Fortunately the intruders left in a hurry and nothing is reported to have been stolen, though they had made an untidy search. The culprits drove off at high speed in a silver or light-grey hatch back. If anyone saw or heard anything unusual or suspicious in that area that night, or has any other relevant information, please call Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222.
