NOTICE FROM OUR LOCAL POLICE CONSTABLE
There has been an increase in rural crime across our area. In particular Ifor Williams trailers and bridle tack appear to be the main targets with various tools being an added bonus where they are easily accessible.
Whilst the Police have been out and about several comments have been made about ‘they’ll never come up here. I’m too remote for them to find me’. This is a wrong assumption to make. The more remote a property the less likely the perpetrators are to get disturbed and it will have been checked out earlier, but they also stress that even properties in populated areas are also being targeted.
Please make sure you are taking the necessary steps to protect your property and report any suspicious vehicles, preferably with an index, or suspicious activity in their area.
Thanks for your help.

Message from PC Dawson
Following a recent incident in one of the villages it would seem that some vital intelligence wasn’t being passed on to the Police or Crimestoppers and the developing situation had been going on for quite a long time. Can I ask that you put a small update on your websites and in parish/church newsletters advising that any concerns/intel can be submitted via the Constabulary website (https://imsva91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.norfolk.police.uk&umid=64D9EED6-8DBA-1F05-B2DC-87CF97A07543&auth=76a36a0301cf7179612a4414203a61368905a968-d2672ba51febae4f806d0ce4bcf1b9d3128de719), email the SNT box at SNTFakenham@norfolk.pnn.police.uk or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
Many thanks
