Crowthorne and Sandhurst

A fun, free and friendly Mother and Toddler group with music, craft, stories, lots of toys and plenty of yummy, healthy snacks. It runs from 10am – 11:30am at the Sandhurst Community Centre on the 3rd Thursday or at The Tythings in Yateley on the 3rd or 4th Friday. The coffee is hot and ready by 10am and everyone is welcome. Lots of toys for the children to play with, a craft table and a great toddler music time with lots of action songs and songs with instruments so everyone can get involved. While the kids play or get ‘stuck in’ to the craft table, the adults can relax in the café style area and have a chance to chat and make new friends.

Police are appealing for the public’s help in identifying those responsible for stealing the registration plates from cars in the College Town area of Sandhurst.

Overnight between Friday (15/5) and Saturday (16/5), Sandhurst police received six reports of number plates being removed from vehicles in the area. Most of the thefts involved rear number plates, some of which were found discarded nearby.

The thieves targeted a Toyota, a BMW and a Vauxhall Astra in Branksome Hill Road, a Citroen Saxo and a Seat Ibiza in College Road, and a Rover in Richmond Road, Sandhurst.

Margaret Weber, Neighbourhood Watch coordinator for Bracknell Forest local police area, said: “This is an unusual spate of thefts and we believe there must be somebody out there that knows who’s responsible.

“I would appeal to anyone with information to contact police as soon as possible on 0845 8 505 505. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“We advise motorists to park in a well-lit area if possible. They may wish to consider getting DVLA-approved theft-resistant number plates fitted. These are tested to make sure they either resist attempts to remove them for a minimum of three minutes, or they break apart and become unusable once removed.”

Further information about theft-resistant licence plates in available on www.direct.gov.uk/motoring

Crowthorne police station needs volunteers to run the front office, which is open to members of the public. This is an important role that supports the community and also provides an insight into the working of your local police.

Volunteers work on a rota which normally involves one four-hour duty per week, usually between 9am to 1pm or 1pm to 5pm. We currently need volunteers on Thursday or Friday morning or any afternoon.

The Crowthorne volunteers provide a high quality of service to the local community in Crowthorne and the surrounding area on issues relating to crime and community safety, and improving public access to Thames Valley Police.

The role of a volunteer is to ensure Crowthorne police station remains open at the advertised times, and to deal effectively with enquiries from members of the public, whether by phone or in person at the front counter. Some form completing is involved, as well as the recording of messages or information for police officers.

Full training is given, initially working with a full-time station duty officer and then an experienced volunteer.

If you feel you can assist in this important role, please contact Sgt Graham Thorne at Crowthorne police station on 0845 8 505 505 or by calling in and speaking to a volunteer.
