Chain cut on gate to field rear of Woodruff Close

A substantial chain securing the lock on the gate accessing the field behind the grassed amenity area in Woodruff Close was cut late evening Wednesday 22nd June/early morning 23rd June.


There is nothing in the field to steal which may possibly indicate that the perpetrator(s) was/were preparing a means for a quick vehicular getaway prior to possible planned/opportunist thefts via the rear of those properties backing-on to the field.


Forewarned is to be forearmed.
