Theft from Antique Centre

A 43 year old male from the Bolton area has been charged with a number of thefts from an antique unit at the Blakemere Craft Centre, Sandiway.

Unfortunately none of the stolen items have been recovered. He will appear at Chester Magistrates on 15th September 2017.

Autumn is nearly here

Well the summer has nearly gone and all the holidays are over. The summer period has seen no major incidents for the police to deal with in the local area. We have managed many community events all which have passed without incident. We have also supported the force in all other events including Chester races season and Creamfields music festival to name a few.

The ASB in the local area has been relevantly low for the time of year. We are putting plans in place for the next period of demand of Halloween and bonfire night events.

Is your car ready for the Autumn and Winter months? 

As the nights draw in and the days get shorter can you look to ensure your vehicles are roadworthy for the winter period. Ensure all your lights are working, windscreen wash topped up, tyres checked, battery checked and the heaters working. Don’t be caught out with these simple checks they could save you time money and an accident?

Kids are back at school

Consider school neighbours. Don’t block driveways or cause obstructions when dropping off your children.

Don’t park on double yellow lines or school crossing areas, kill your speed.

We will have extra patrols outside the schools during the next few weeks at both start of the school day and at the end for community engagement.
