Daryl has now sent through his record of crime figures for our parish. These are in addition to the ones already received from NHW.

Pilning: - 2 x incidents of damage on Crosshands Road and at a local farm. 1 x domestic.

Severn Beach: - 1 theft from Shop. 1 damage at Salthouse Farm. 1 lost keys. 1 Domestic. 1 theft from a vehicle - Ableton Lane. 1 burglary dwelling - Beach Road.

Thanks to several members of the public 4 youths from Bristol were caught after breaking into the Rugby Club in Beach Road and stealing booze.  Most recovered.

During the early hours of this morning (9th July) at approximately 3.30 a.m., an upstairs flat in Ableton Court was broken into.  A purse with money in it was taken, and papers looked through.  Although shaken, the resident, who is on medication, slept through it all, but is obviously very upset.  This was an upstairs flat, so a ladder must have been used.  DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?  Be wary about leaving windows open at night, even on very hot nights(?), try and lock the window on its smallest setting. This is the second robbery, or attempted robbery that has happened between the hours of 3 and 3.30 am within the week, so if you are awoken by a strange noise around that time, look out  to see if anything is happening near you.  PLEASE BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR AND CHECK ANY STRANGE NOISES IN THE NIGHT.

These are the only crime figures that I have received from NHW at Staple Hill. No doubt Daryl will have more to add.
