                       Update from your local officer

There are only a few incidents to report to you this month, along with a couple of bits that may be of interest to you.
Sometime between the 31st May and 3rd June 2009 someone stole the number plates off a Peugeot car, parked in Mappleton village. Both front and rear plates were taken. The number plates are still outstanding. We have been making enquiries with nearby Police Forces and enquiries are still ongoing.

We’ve had some excellent calls about suspicious characters, including a couple of males at Bradbourne, who were stopped and checked out a short distance away. We also had a call about a suspicious caller at Newton Grange. He was from outside our area, but he was visited by Police covering his home County, and was checked by them for us. Their details have been noted. Please keep ringing in and reporting your suspicions.

Tissington Well Dressings week went well and it was a good opportunity to have a chat with a few people, both locals and visitors. We have also had a meeting with Derbyshire County Council, Peak Park, and Sir Richard FitzHerbert to discuss road safety concerns at Tissington Gates. The County Council are looking at improving the signage there, so hopefully it will be better.

I have been into FitzHerbert Primary School to talk about Personal Safety to all the children there, and am going to try and sort out some visits to the other schools and preschools.
