The local Neighbourhood watch co-ordinator has thanked local residents who have reported information regarding a White Ford Transit Van NK52AWM. This resulted in the Police developing a much clearer intelligence picture of the vehicle and the occupants.

The occupants originated from outside of Herefordshire and Gloustershire. Paul Crumpton, Herefordshire Business and Rural Crimes Officer said, “Without the vigilance of the general public we would never have known about these individuals and I would urge you to report any suspicious activity via the NHW Platforms or 101 or 999 if an Emergency.”

The co-ordinatior reminded residents that being vigilant, sharing information and reporting sightings of suspicious vehicles to the Police via 101 can make a difference.

They added, “We can get the message out there to the thieves and burglers that we won’t put up with it, and we will not tolerate their presence in our villages and towns.”
