At the recent Parish Council meeting (see draft minutes here) councillors heard from Essex Police about a spate of thefts and attempted thefts from sheds and outbuildings in and around Peldon. Possibly coincidentally, there have also been reports from around the area of folks selling equipment from the back of vehicles – in particular chainsaws and the like from the back of a small black van.
Police ask that if you sport any suspicious behaviour like this to please call them on 101 with as many details as you can provide.
