December 21st, 2009 | Posted by Admin

Issued by Hugh Crouch, Community Initiatives Co-ordinator at Melton Police HQ on the 17th December 2009.

There were a number of incidents in the rural areas of Melton Mowbray which all took place on the 17th and 18th December:

Burglaries: There were four incidents in the last week – at Gaddesby, Hose, Long Clawson and Rotherby.

Theft of Fuel: There have been two incidents of red diesel being stolen; at Wymondham (500 litres) and at Somerby (300 litres).

Turkeys: Six turkeys were stolen from a location between Pickwell and Somerby. The owner states that the birds would be six years old – making them less than ideal for the dinner table!

If you have any information on the above incidents, please call Leicestershire Constabulary on 0116 222 2222 with details.
