CRIME REPORT - MARCH 2017

After the large volume of crimes committed in February, thankfully March has been relatively quiet. Additionally, several offenders have been arrested for crime committed in our area in the last month.
Of interest, four kayaks have been stolen in Oxenford since the start of 2017, most of which were chained up. If you own watercraft, whenever possible it may be best to store them in a secure shed, garage or similar location.
