Christmas Table Decoration Making

The village Horticultural Society committees of both Hadlow Down and Buxted are working hard to promote events that help to secure the future of their societies in both villages. Admin is therefore happy to include the following post on our pages as part of a reciprocal agreement although it does not necessarily comply with group rules regarding village boundaries.

Local Theft Alert!

I need to make everyone aware that I have been informed there has been a spate of high value thefts in our area this includes high value vehicles, quad bikes, utility vehicles and high value tools (chainsaws, strimmer’s). Last night in the early hours 5 properties in the Blackboys area had items stolen including a range rover. Two men in balaclavas were caught on CCTV. They also appear to be targeting large rural properties. Other thefts have also happened within the Parish in the last two weeks.
This appears to be co-ordinated and organised crime, please be aware and ensure high value items are not on show, and locked away, and please be vigilant in any suspicious behaviour especially around the rural lanes (as this is how they are moving around) and please report to Sussex Police. Make sure CCTV is working and cameras are clear. Do not approach. Try to capture any vehicle details although I am told the gang are using false plates.
Residents may also be interested that our local PCSO Sue Choppin is attending our next Parish Council meeting on 5th December.
If and when I get more updates from Sussex Police I will update the post.
May be an image of 2 people and text that says "POLICE POLICE"
