A month with Zero burglaries in the Thame area !

THAMES Valley Police has seen another drop in Burglaries, both Dwelling and non-Dwellings (sheds /outbuildings) in comparison to the same period last year across the Thame sector with zero crimes reported in every category. The Thame neighbourhood team have put this down in part to their continued hard work promoting Crime Reduction Advice and targeted patrols.

In its latest monthly update  for May 2018, the community policing team report also has good news about rural crime: “Due to proactive patrols and operations organised by the Thame Neighbourhood Policing Team, reports of rural crime have dramatically fallen since January 2018, which is great news. Rural crime does still remain a priority for the Thame Neighbourhood Team. PCSO Ryan Dollery still commits 50% of his work time to rural crime patrols and engagement which includes frequent visits to farms and rural locations.”

Another one of the team’s priorities is Antisocial Behaviour (ASB) in and around Thame town at night. About this aspect of policing the town, the report states: “The neighbourhood team continue to patrol the town and engage with the youths. Warning letters have been issued to many youths with vehicles advising them to ensure they are not driving in an anti-social manner.  Additionally the youths are being advised to keep their music to a minimum when parked up and to be respectful to other members of the public. The Thame neighbourhood team have future operations planned which are aimed at detecting anti-social behaviour and crime in and around the Thame area at night.”

On May 12, the Thame PCSOs issued a driver with a S59 Warning after witnessing him drive in an anti-social manner on Southern Road in Thame.
