Thames Valley Police Update

Published: 05 April 2022

Thames Valley Police had provided us with the below update:

Haddenham Quarterly Report 2022

This report is supplied by Waddesdon Neighbourhood Police Team. The incidents recorded are just a snapshot of incidences that occurred within the parish between 1/01/21 and 01/04/22. The examples are given with the belief that they are of interest to the parish and public alike. I have however used my discretion to leave out incidents which I do not think are in the public interest. If you feel that there is some information that you think I should have included, please let me know. I have tried to provide accurate data but given the variable information around addresses using our current police system, there may be some incidents under reported.

Action Fraud (scamming the public) 1 incident reported

Burglary in a Non-Dwelling 1 (garage/shed)

Road traffic Collision involving injury 1 / Road Traffic Collisions non- injury 4

Criminal Damage 4 incidents reported

Theft from Vehicles 1 incidents reported

Fraud against the public is a growing issue that affects us all. We would urge residents to be aware of strangers making contact by phone, e-mail, mail, or door to door asking for your details. Do not give your personal details to anyone that you do not know!

One of the issues that is a concern to the community is sheep being attacked. The latest one being in the area of Woodham / Quainton. According to the owner. 7 sheep have been killed by a dog. Furthermore, on 29/12/21 5 sheep had been killed by a dog in Doddershall. While there is a limited amount that Thames Valley Police can do, we have been giving out” Dog Owner” warnings posters, we have been conducting patrols in the area especially in the evenings and also making enquiries with local dog owners. We would ask the public to be mindful of this issue and make us aware of any dog owners letting their dog off leads in areas where sheep graze.

Burglary. Now that we are saying good bye to the winter season and welcoming Spring I would urge anyone venturing out to tend to their gardens to be aware of where they store their garden machinery and power tools etc. Unfortunately, criminals are always looking for ways to take your property. Check your locks, consider lighting, CCTV and laser alarms to protect your property.

On a lighter note, since PC Tom Chalk has left Thames Valley Police, we will be welcoming Eleanor Fenemore, our new PC supervisor to Waddesdon in May. She grew up around these parts and has a wealth of knowledge regarding farming, crime and members of the farming community. While Thames Valley is going through some challenging times regarding resourcing, I am happy to say that the Waddesdon team should not be greatly affected by this. I have been informed that the resourcing issue should be resolved by the end of the year.

Kind regards
