Good morning, and Happy Monday!

As you may have read last week, we’ve agreed with our local councillors and Neighbourhood Watch that one of our priorities should be targeting dwelling burglaries. This is after statistics in our area have taken a rise in January and February. In January there were seven, and February five burglaries in Yateley, Blackwater and Hawley.

To assist vulnerable people and the elderly, we utilise the help of the Bobby Scheme in order to provide FREE home security, smoke alarms, advice and peace of mind.

Stay safe,

PC 27999 Ben Blundell,

Designated Neighbourhood Officer for Yateley, Blackwater and Hawley.
