Rural Crime Reporting Form
Posted in Environment, Farming, Police on Tuesday November 29, 2022| Leave a Comment »
A new crime form has been launched to encourage communities to report rural and wildlife crimes online.
Sergeant Chris Wilkinson, from the force’s Rural, Wildlife and Heritage Crime Team, said “We want to reassure our rural communities that we are here to support you if you need us.
“By offering an online way of reporting these crimes directly to our team, we can take all the details we need to provide an efficient and suitable police response. This should also save time for the person reporting the crime.
“Whilst we do investigate these crimes thoroughly already, and put other crime prevention measures in place, we do know that rural communities can sometimes feel expected to put up with criminal activity. We are committed to proving that this is not the case.” Read the full article on our website: Specialist rural and wildlife reporting tools launched in Derbyshire | Derbyshire Constabulary

Can You Help With Information about the Death of Ian Mellor?
The family of a man who died in an incident in Tissington are urging the public to come forward with information to help the investigation into his death. Ian Mellor was found by police and paramedics in a blue Ford Focus in Chapel Lane, Tissington, at around 2.30am on Thursday 9 July.

Officers are now making enquiries into the hours prior to the 37-year-old being found and his family are urging anyone with information to come forward. Ian’s mother, Sheila, said: “Ian was a much-loved son, brother and partner and was well known in Bradbourne – as well as Ashbourne and Matlock where he was a regular drinker in a number of pubs. He was a hugely social person and his death has come as a huge shock to his family and friends. I know there must be people who saw Ian the night before he died and I would ask you please, for the sake of his family and friends, please come forward and tell the police anything you might know.”
Anyone with who may have seen Ian between 6.30pm on Wednesday 8 July and 2pm on Thursday 9 July is urged to contact Derbyshire police. It is understood Ian was in the Ashbourne and Parwich areas and any drivers with dashcam footage that may have captured a blue Ford Focus, number plate AK08 TRT, are asked to download any footage and store it safely for an officer to view.

Collision
Posted in News, Police, Roads on Thursday August 6, 2020| 2 Comments »
Some time between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning someone has driven into our car while it was parked outside our house opposite to Pump Hill. We didn’t hear it happen and no note has been left. (see photos) To hit it going forward would have meant the other vehicle was on the wrong side of the road. But there are no skid marks or damage down the side of the car. Perhaps someone reversed into it? If anyone saw this happen or remembers passing and seeing (or not) the damage caused then any information would be gratefully received. Or if you have seen any suspicious new damage on any other vehicle!

Stay Safe this Weekend: Message from Derbyshire Alert
Posted in Covid, Local government, Police on Friday July 3, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Video: Please watch.
This weekend, a number of pubs across the county will re-open after almost 15 weeks of lockdown.
As much as we’d like it to be, the experience won’t be one we recognise.
Please remember that social distancing rules continue to apply. You may be expected to queue outside venues or at the bar once you are inside and provide your details at each premises you visit to assist with test and trace.
We all have a responsibility to stop the spread of Coronavirus so please maintain a distance of two metres from those around you.
In this short video, Chief Inspector Becky Webster and Mike Kay, Head of Licensing at Derby City Council, discuss the extra steps that licensed premises across Derbyshire have had to take.
Staff at the Holly Bush Inn in Makeney let us in for a glimpse behind the scenes, showing how the pub experience has massively changed to ensure people can visit safely – with new measures such as face shields for bar staff now in place.
Covid-19 still presents a significant and deadly threat to public health. People should continue to wash their hands regularly and maintain social distancing.
Please reconsider your plans if you arrive somewhere and establish that distancing isn’t achievable.
Be aware of how excess drinking and violent behaviour may impact the emergency services at this time.
Extra officers will be on patrol this weekend to make sure that people can enjoy the county’s pubs, clubs and restaurants safely.
We want everyone to have a good time, but please do so safely, responsibly, and with respect for the public health measures in place.

Posted in Covid, Eating Out, Health Care, Police, Pub on Tuesday June 30, 2020| Leave a Comment »
As businesses such as pubs and restaurants open their doors to the public from Saturday 4 July, we are offering advice to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Please remember that social distancing rules continue to apply and you may be expected to queue outside venues or at the bar once you are inside and provide your details at each premises you visit to assist with track and trace.
We all have a responsibility to stop the spread of coronavirus so maintain a distance of two metres from those around you.We anticipate that the city, and towns across the county, will be busy when establishments re-open for the first time so if you need to book a taxi, make sure you do so well in advance.
The advice is that you should avoid using public transport where possible but if you do need to use a train or bus, remember that face coverings must be worn.
Extra officers will be on patrol this weekend to make sure that people can enjoy the county’s pubs, clubs and restaurants safely.
Owners of on-licences premises will need to have the appropriate risk assessments and plans in place to ensure both staff and customer safety. Owners should seek advice from their local environmental health officers and licensing teams for further advice if required.
Inspector Emma Marshall said: “It’s great for the local economy that the pubs and restaurants can re-open, however people visiting need to be aware that their evening out is likely to be very different from previous nights out in the towns and cities.
“People will need to be patient as queues are likely to be longer than expected and respect the rights of other to socially distance while everyone takes the opportunity to enjoy themselves. We will be supporting our colleagues in environmental health to identify breaches and take appropriate action where necessary.”
Councillor Jonathan Smale, Cabinet Member for Communities, Neighbourhoods and Streetpride, said: “Derby has been awarded Purple Flag status as a safe and welcoming place to come and enjoy a night out for the past six years. Coronavirus isn’t going to change that. We’re working really hard with our great venues to ensure that it’s going to be just as safe to come into Derby and enjoy a really good night out whilst following the necessary guidelines to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
“Things are obviously going to be different and so we’re asking people to be respectful, patient and work with us to make sure we can continue to enjoy a safe night out.”

More Funding to Monitor Speeding
Posted in Police, Roads on Monday March 16, 2020| Leave a Comment »
Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa has taken action on public concerns over speeding – pledging additional funding to expand community speed monitoring across all corners of the county.
The Commissioner, who recently announced the addition of two new full-time posts to coordinate and manage the county’s Community Speed Watch (CSW) programme, has now revealed funding for 20 new ‘grab bags’ containing speed monitoring equipment, which will be deployed to all policing units in Derbyshire.
Speeding remains the most frequently raised issue in all of Derbyshire’s towns, villages and neighbourhoods.
Acting on the concerns raised during the PCC’s countywide #D383 tour, Mr Dhindsa has pledged to expand CSW and make it easier for local people to proactively address problems in their villages and neighbourhoods to reduce road traffic collisions. (more…)

Sheep Theft at Hartington
Posted in Farming, Police on Tuesday March 5, 2019| Leave a Comment »
The current trend in livestock thefts has suddenly taken an alarming upward curve with a large scale theft last night.
A number of thefts – mostly sheep – have been reported lately, usually involving fewer than a dozen animals.
These are bad enough and pose a real threat to the livelihoods of the farmers, but last night 71 Texel ewes in lamb were taken from a field at Hartington.
This shows that we have a really serious problem in the area and we need your help.
First of all, if anybody saw some nocturnal activity on Hyde Lane at Hartington then please get in touch. 71 sheep take some shifting so we’re hoping someone will have seen something.
Secondly, please keep your eyes open and your mind set to inquisitive and don’t hesitate to ring the police if you see anything at all which gives rise to suspicion.
Finally, we need information. Someone knows who’s doing this or may at least have an inkling. There’s no honour in protecting a thief and any information will be treated with complete confidentiality.
Thanks in anticipation.

Road Conditions
Posted in Police, Roads, Weather on Sunday March 18, 2018| 2 Comments »
The Police are warning motorists to take care on the roads and not to travel on any higher routes. Locally, with a number of crashes yesterday and more snow overnight, the A515 between Newhaven and Buxton is closed this morning.
Also take care on Alsop Lane as the increased traffic due to the temporary closure of the B5056 has churned up the verges with cars getting stuck in the mud when attempting to pass other vehicles. This will be compounded by the muddy areas being hidden by the snow.
For official information check the County Council website:
and for more local information check the Buxton Weather Watch Facebook page:

We received a report yesterday that a Land Rover Defender 90 XS in Black of registration
YC65 HEV was stolen from a property in Flagg near Bakewell.
The vehicle was stolen some time between 2100 hours on 11th September and 0600 hours 12th September 2017.
The vehicle was fitted with one of the police discounted back2you trackers. We were initially able to make a link towards the South of the county, but unfortunately, as the tracker was not charged, we soon lost contact with it.
This alert is to respectfully serve as a reminder:
-It is worth purchasing a tracker for your farm/agricultural vehicle. We were able to initially make a link to an area.
-If you have purchased a tracker, please ensure that it is activated and regularly charged in the event of a theft to maximise our opportunities of recovery and identifying the offender(s)
-Thirdly, Land Rover Defenders and quad bikes are still being targeted by thieves. Please continue to think about security, considering good locks, CCTV, trackers, adequate lighting, alarms etcetera and also please keep reporting suspicious visitors to your farm premises or in the general area.
If you require any further help or advice, please contact the team either on 101 or via our dedicated rural crime team inbox: DRCT@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk
Together we can beat Rural Crime.
Many Thanks

Arson at Middleton by Youlgrave
Posted in Farming, Police on Tuesday August 22, 2017| Leave a Comment »
THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE RURAL CRIME TEAM
We are appealing to the public for information regarding 2 separate arsons that the police are investigating
The first is a barn fire that occurred approximately 2300 hours on Sunday 6th August 2017. The location for the fire is a farm property situated off of FRIDEN ROAD in MIDDLETON-BY-YOULGRAVE. The crime reference number is: 17000336296.
Extensive damage was caused to the barn. A number of silage bails were also slashed with a sharp implement. A car at the property was subject to extensive criminal damage. It would appear a sharp implement was used to cause the damage to the paintwork of the vehicle.
The CEX festival was taking place nearby at the time of the fire and a witness has mentioned sighting either a red or white colored Ford Fiesta, possibly a year 2000 model, parked near the property, with the engine running and two occupants inside at the time of the fire.
We are particularly keen to speak with anyone that could hold any information with regards to the sighting of the vehicle or if they are aware of any other suspicious persons or vehicles at or near the location around the time of the ignition
The second report that we are investigating is the deliberate ignition of 15 tons of bail straw that were located next to a barn by a public footpath at the top of DARK LANE in ALPORT. The fire has caused scorching to the exterior of the barn. This is believed to have occurred between 2015 hours and 2030 hours on Friday 18th August 2017. The crime reference to which this relates is: 17000354912.
We are appealing for information from anyone that may have been using the footpath around the time who may have sighted any suspicious persons’ or vehicles that could help us to identify who may be responsible.
At this stage it is unclear whether the fires are connected, but we would however like to take this opportunity to advise members of our rural community to be vigilant in respect of the recent reports due to the property that has been targeted.
There are a number of ways we can be contacted:
999- Emergency, happening there and now
101- Non-urgent to relay information or report something that has happened some time ago
Email- DRCT@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk – Non-urgent enquiries for the team to investigate

Success for Derbyshire Alert
Posted in Police, Uncategorized on Wednesday June 14, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Police have thanked the public for their help after their pleas for information led to the arrest of two suspects.
A rural crime alert was sent to residents about a white van seen in the Brassington area which was believed to have been involved in the theft of a quantity of lead from a farm. (This was posted on Parwich.Org on 19 May)
Following the appeal, members of the public came forward with information confirming the identity of van and descriptions of the suspected offenders. Police arrested two suspects within minutes of the message going out.
Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa was responsible for reinstating the Alert messaging system after his election last year.
He said: “This latest success shows how important the Derbyshire Alert system is to gather intelligence and ultimately detect crime.
“I would like to thank the public for their continuing response to the information appeals we issue. Thousands of people have registered with the site since the end of September and the facility is already proving its weight in gold as a crime prevention service.”
One of those who came forward with information that led to the arrest, congratulated the team saying: “Well done, it’s very satisfying to know the system is working for us all.”

Following a recently reported case of Livestock worrying in the Derbyshire Dales area the owner and dog have been identified and the dog destroyed. The dog in question killed one sheep and injured 3 others.
We take matters of livestock worrying seriously and understand the financial impact this can have, especially at this time of year. Although we accept it can be difficult to identify the dogs and their owners please still report it to the police, the above proves positive results can be achieved. This will only assist in promoting the issue and hopefully lead to greater awareness amongst dog owners.

Police Commissioner Elections

The candidates for the May 5th Derbyshire Police & Crime Commioners elections have now been announced:
Richard Bright: Conservative
Hardyal Singh Dhindsa: Labour
Tom Snowdon: Liberal Democrats
Stuart David Yeowart: UKIP
no photo or statement submitted to the ‘Choose My PCC’ website
Click on the images above to see their statements or click here to access all their statements as a PDF.
(Personal comment: The turnout for the previous election was very low, though I am not surprised as, like the Liberal Democrat candidate, I am not convinced that an election is the best way to fill the post. Also, it is hard to draw out any local references other than the local polling station being the Memorial Hall and that the Conservative candidate lives relatively locally in the Carsington ward.

Watch out for black ice on the roads, especially on higher ground to the north. The Buxton Advertiser reports the Police have closed the A537 over the Cat and Fiddle this afternoon due to black ice, as well as the A54.
With rain and sleet forecast, temperatures around zero tonight and getting colder tomorrow, do let our readers know if you spot or hear of any problems on the roads, by adding comments to this post or emailing parwich@hotmail.co.uk.
So far, 4pm Wednesday, Derbyshire County Council have not reported any road closures (click here to see their gritting routes and snow related road closures web page).

- Carry out online research in relation to the website, company name and the business address provided to identify any poor feedback or possible irregularities.
- Check the Trusted Shops Facebook page where warnings about websites using their Trustmark are published. If you are in doubt about the legitimacy of a Trustmark then you can contact Trusted Shops on 0203 364 5906 or by email service@trustedshops.co.uk. They will confirm whether they have certified that website.
- Payments made via bank transfer are not protected should you not received the item. Therefore always try to make the payment via PayPal or a credit card where you have some payment cover should you not receive your product.
- If the item advertised seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
