.Here is the latest Wing North Neighbourhood Policing update from Police Community Support Officer PCSO BOSTON:
For Thames Valley crime levels and statistics, view the national CrimeMapper website (opens new window).
This website provides you with information on crime and anti-social behaviour in your neighbourhood. It also enables you to access and compare the latest information on a range of crime types with other neighbourhoods.
The crime statistics show only those crimes that have been reported to Thames Valley Police.
The figures are not audited by the Home Office but are subject to supervision by the Force Crime Registrar. The number of recorded crimes may change over time due to requirements under Home Office Counting Rules to make sure that each crime is recorded accurately.
Crimes that take place at railway stations or on railway property are recorded by British Transport Police, not by Thames Valley Police, and are not included in these figures.
Reported incidents of anti-social behaviour only counts those incidents reported to the police. Incidents reported to other authorities are not included.
Please note that while every effort is made to record the details of crime and its location as accurately as possible, there are occasions when victims are unable to provide the actual location of a crime. In these instances, the site will not be able to display all of the crime reported to the police.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT TWO VEHICLES HAVE BEEN STOLEN WHILST THE OWNERS LEFT THEM RUNNING DURING THE FREEZING WEATHER. TAKE THE TIME TO SIT IN THE VEHICLE WHILST YOU ARE DOING THIS. IT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DEFROST YOUR CAR, BUT IT TAKES ONLY A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO BE STOLEN.
There has been targeted patrolling by Response and Neighbourhood officers around the areas recently affected by crime, i.e. burglaries and car crime. These officers are specifically tasked to patrol certain areas and to carry out stop checks on suspicious persons and/or vehicles, as well as being a visual deterrent to would be criminals. Crime prevention packs have been delivered and Selecta DNA kits issued to residents of areas where crime has been prevalent. The selecta DNA is an invisible paint that can be seen under ultra violet light, that is painted onto property and can identify that property via a national data base should it be stolen. Each kit has a unique code that relates it to a particular property. We are actively working with our villages to encourage setting up Neighbourhood Watch Schemes and to reinvigorate existing ones. Neighbourhood watch is a key weapon in detecting and deterring crime and we would encourage anyone with an interest to contact the Wing North Neighbourhood Team to discuss the matter.
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH is an ideal scheme to be involved in and we will be happy to discuss setting up a scheme or for you to be involved in one. Another advantage of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is that you can become a ‘No Doorstop Selling’ zone. Alternatively Parish Councils can apply for the whole village to be part of the scheme with every household displaying a ‘We do not buy at this door’ sticker.
The scheme should give householders the confidence to say “NO” and direct the cold caller out of the area.
We have received reports from residents in Stewkley stating that people are calling at properties displaying stickers (especially energy companies) and do urge people to contact Trading Standards when this happens so they can contact the companies involved direct.
If you have concerns about a ‘Doorstep Seller’ visiting your property this should be reported on the Thames Valley non-emergency number – 0845 8 505 505 and to Trading Standards – 08454 040506 who can also deal with the Energy Companies.
New Year, New Presents – keep them safe
How better than to start 2010 with a resolution to keep your property safe.
Aylesbury Vale District Council and Thames Valley Police are working in partnership to keep burglary low in 2010 by encouraging residents to safeguard belongings by using property marking kits.
The kits include a UV marker, which enables valuables to be marked with your house number and postcode so if goods do get stolen and then recovered by the police they can be returned to you.
Marking your property is quick and easy and is a fundamental deterrent to thieves as it exposes them to risk if caught and prevents them from selling goods on.
For a free UV property marking kit, please call into Customer Services at Aylesbury Vale District Council, 66 High Street, Aylesbury, or visit the AVDC desk at the Buckingham Centre, Verney Close, Buckingham. We shall also be bringing the packs with us to all our advertised Surgeries.
Anti-social behaviourNone to report this month!
WING NORTH PRIORITIES – SPEEDING
Due to the inclement weather over this January period we have not been able to carry out as many speed checks on a major basis as we would have liked to. However there have been speed checks carried out in Stoke Hammond and Soulbury on an ad hoc basis and it is pleasing to say that at the times of theses checks there were no significant excesses of speed detected. A number of drivers were stop checked and given advice. As we draw towards spring, we will hopefully be increasing the amount of speed checks and this will be expanded into Drayton Parslow, due to the increasing complaints from local residents that we are receiving with regards to speeding vehicles.
OFFENDERS BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
1) 14/01/10 - A young male was arrested in Stewkley for possession of class B Cannabis, having been stop checked in a vehicle with others. He subsequently received a police reprimand.
2) 10/01/10 - A male was arrested for a walk in burglary at an address in Stewkley. Due to a good eye witness description police managed to identify a suspect. The male is presently on police bail pending further enquiries.
3) 21/01/10 - An harassment warning has been served on a female from Soulbury. She had been conducting herself in a way that was causing harassment to a neighbour. If she transgresses the warning she will be liable to arrest and prosecution.
4) 24/01/10 - A male was arrested for a robbery in Great Brickhill. Basically he had gone by taxi from Milton Keynes and then refused to pay the driver. He then snatched the taxi driver’s takings and ran off. The male will subsequently receive a conditional police caution. What this means is that he will have to make some sort of restitution as agreed by the victim or appear in court if he does not adhere to the agreement.
5) A young female has now been charged with assault associated with a complex incident in Drayton Parslow on 14/06/09.
NEIGHBOURHOOD ACTION GROUP ( NAG )
The Neighbourhood Action Group which met last on 09/12/09 is still in the process of finalising purchase of the Community Speedwatch System. Some members of the local parish councils concerned have expressed a wish to see the device in action prior to purchase. This is presently being organised as neighbouring parishes such as Cheddington, who can demonstrate the system, have already had this equipment for a year or so now.
The next NAG is planned for Wednesday 3rd March at 7.30pm in Drayton Parslow, Greenacres Hall.
GOOD NEWS
Soulbury Parish Council and Thames Valley PCSO's are setting up Neighbourhood Watch for Soulbury. The Parish are putting it in their news letters for this month and we shall be delivering leaflets and forms through resident’s doors over the next couple of weeks. Please contact PCSO Tina Hobson if you need any information or send the forms to us in the envelopes provided.
PCSO Tina Hobson joined representatives from different agencies at HighAshSchool, Great Brickhill for their Open Evening on the 27th January. This gave parents the opportunity to meet their PCSO and receive Crime Prevention Advice and raise any concerns they may have.
PCSO Paula Boston (with a marked Police car) visited the Foundation Class at St Michaels School, Stewkley on the 20th January giving the children an opportunity to wear Police hats and activate the flashing lights and sirens and learn about the role of the local Police and PCSO's role as part of the ‘People who help us’ week.
It was also a pleasure to attend the first gathering at ‘The Coffee Spot’ on Thursday 4th February. This is held at the Schoolroom - next to the Methodist Chapel, High St. South with Bring & Buy. This is a joint venture with the Methodists as a form of outreach in the village. All are welcome to come along for a quick cuppa, or to stay and chat with friends.
The next gathering will be on Thursday 4th March as part of the Big Brew Fair trade week. Your Neighbourhood Policing Team shall be attending again on the 4th offering crime prevention advice, giving away property marking packs and listening to any concerns our community may have.
