ADDENDUM - A note from Sgt Andrew Lake
The crime stats above for the Oxenford area for the month ending 25 Nov cover a much larger area than just the Oxenford NHW area.
Unfortunately Studio Village and Gaven Heights are all called ‘Oxenford’. The stats for the ‘real Oxenford’ area were as below. The second figures are what have been reported since 1/12/08 to today.
Burglary: 0 – 2
B&E Premises: 6 (3 at Oxenford SS) – 0
Steal from M/V: 1 – 0
Graffiti: 2 – 1
Wilful damage; 5 – 0
I’d hate to make people think that things are worse than they are.
