Acquisitive Crime In the Cotswolds

“Sergeant George Howe from the Cotswolds Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “We understand how much of an impact rural crimes can have on victims livelihoods when items like tools and machinery are stolen.

“Often victims lose out on a lot of money due to needing to replace the stolen items or are unable to work completely which is not acceptable.

“We are determined to identify the offenders and I would like to remind residents of the importance of submitting information they have, no matter how big or small, as it could be the one thing we need to catch those responsible and stop anyone else from being targeted. “

If you feel you have been a victim or could be a possible target, we can offer further crime prevention advice on a one to one basis. Please contact our team onneighbourhoodwatch@gloucestershire.police.uk

Important information for all residents

As part of new laws introduced by Government, everyone voting in person at a polling station at this year’s local elections on 4 May will need to show a valid form of ID to be able to vote.

Find out more on the Cotswold District Council website including what ID is accepted and how to apply for free ID if you don’t have one of the accepted forms of ID –

Everyone who needs to apply for ID has until 25 April to do so. Also remember to register to vote by 17 April if you aren’t already registered. The ID requirements will not affect postal votes so if you want to vote by post you can also find out how to do that on the district council website.
