• During the evening of Sunday July 27th 5 ‘Old English Game Chickens’ were stolen from a hutch in farm in the vicinity West Road.
Other crimes have been reported over the same period of time, however in the interests and wishes of the victims and not to prejudice any investigations these will not be reported on.
Bicycle Coding
On Sunday August 24th volunteers of the crime prevention panel will be conducting bicycle coding whilst at the West Bay day for a price of £1 per bicycle throughout the event. This will be done from the Community vehicle set up in West Bay.
When a bicycle is stolen and recovered often it can’t be identified. When details like home postcode and house number are engraved or stamped on the frame it does allow it to be returned to its rightful owner if it is recovered.
Even if a thief has taken steps to permanently deprive the rightful owner by repainting a bike coding can prove invaluable in identifying it as stolen property, thus allow return to it’s rightful owner.
If you have any information regarding the above offences or any other crimes, then please come forward and help us with our enquiries: it may be your evidence, which successfully secures a conviction. Instead of accepting that crime is part of the Bridport society, let’s give the courts the facts and allow them to decide.
Contact the police station direct, or speak to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 – all calls will be treated in confidence
