Went down the allotment site yesterday for a few veg for dinner and was
confronted by the site of all the sheds on the site being broken into,
doors or what's left of them flapping in the breeze. To get to the sheds
they had smashed rabbit fences and gates. Luckily with no shed we only had
big footprints in the soft earth were I had already dug as they walked
across our plot.
Luckily I spotted a cache of stuff hidden by the gates and took it home
after advising the Police.
Spent the rest of the day dealing with the Police, a SOCO, putting notices
on all sheds for the Police, and advising as many plotholders as I could
by phone or personally. Still today I've had to go down to the site again.
Yet the Council can't give me contact details of all the plotholders
because of Data Protection!!!


I feel for you Bob, this happened to our site a few years ago. And yes, AIUI
they have to go down as separate (but linked) crimes, one per victim. Out
cop was gutted by this as it trashed his statistics for the month. I put a
note from me into all the sheds inviting them to get in touch.
