Here is your quick round up from me and the rest of the Holbrooks neighbourhood policing team.

Dear Resident,
Here is your quick round up from me and the rest of the Holbrooks neighbourhood policing team.
 
What’s been happening?

On Thursday Officers attended an address in Holbrooks in search of a male who had ran from officers during the arrest that took place last week of a male for bicycle theft. The officers attended the address and found the male inside the address sleeping under a pile of blankets and other items in the corner of a room. The male was arrested for outstanding offences and taken to custody. 

Whilst at the address on Thursday officers recognised a male who was potentially involved in a burglary. The officers were able to conduct further enquiries and gain enough evidence to link the male to the offence. On Friday officers returned to the same address and arrested the male. 

On Sunday whilst on patrols one of our officers stopped this Nissan. The driver of the vehicle had borrowed it from a friend. Unfortunately, they failed to check if the car had a valid MOT or vehicle Tax. The driver also did not have any insurance to drive the vehicle. 

In other news Officers from the team assisted our dog unit this week on the stop of a suspected cloned vehicle. The vehicle was stopped by officers after being spotted and information relating to the vehicle suggested it was a clone of another legitimate vehicle.
