Thefts of scrap metal

There have been a number of thefts of metal objects and scrap metal from properties in the rural villages around Dorking. We are very keen for people to report sightings of a white Toyota pick up index N620GOR to us immediately as the persons are wanted for questioning in connection with thefts in the area.

A white Mondeo was seen at a farm in Gomshall. It drove in to the yard with 2 males on board. They claimed that they were involved in a driving lesson. The Index plate for the front was loose on the dashboard the rear was attached. The index given as L842 TNJ

Criminal damage at Old Orchard

Yet again there has been damage to trees in the area of the river near to Brockham Bowls club, thought to have happened over the weekend of 14th and 15th May. A fire was lit and snapped branches of the trees were placed onto the fire. There are also signs of vehicle usage on the grassy area next to the river and steps will be taken to have the area fenced off to stop this from happening.

Anyone with information as to whom is causing this damage is asked to call 0845125 2222 and leave a message for PC2411 Wells. Regular patrols will still be done and anyone in the area will be stopped and asked to account for their being there and arrests may ensue.

Sports and Social Clubs

There have been 7 burglaries over the past few weeks at sports and social clubs across our area. These offences occur evenings or overnight. In all cases some attempt has been made to disable the alarms. Tills and fruit machines are targeted with coins being taken. We have stepped up patrols of the clubs but you extra vigilance around these areas would be appreciated. Again any suspicious activity should be reported on 0845 125 2222.

Scrap metal pick ups
There is a white pick up going around possibly with index N620GOR. 2 males on board are asking for scrap metal and possibly stealing property in the area. The vehicle has been seen in Westcott but has also been seen in other rural areas.

Cycle for Youth
A team of Police Officers, Community Support Officers and Special Constables from Surrey Police and British Transport Police, will be cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats between 6th May and 9th May 2005.

These Officers are giving up their own time to cycle 900 miles in just 3 days!
They aim to ride in 3 teams cycling in 3 hour shifts, in a relay night and day.
They aim to raise enough funds to supply the Youth Clubs in Mole Valley with several Minibuses in an effort to improve facilities for youth in the District.

This is a tough challenge and involves a great deal of planning and physical effort. We would be grateful for any support you can offer us. If you would like to make a donation to this cause,
then please send or deliver donations to:

Cycle for Youth, Leatherhead Police Station, Kingston Road, Leatherhead

Cheques payable to “CYCLE FOR YOUTH”.

Motor vehicle thefts

As the warm weather starts there has been an increase in the amount of theft from motor vehicles in the beauty spot car parks. People are reminded not to leave valuables in their vehicles and not to hide them either as the thieves may be watching you.
Equally, burglaries tend to rise during the spring and summer months with occupants going away. We can offer advice on security. Please call PC Mike Bessent or your local beat officer for more information.

If you see anyone acting suspiciously around premises or vehicles then please contact us immediately.

Two males have been charged with a series of Graffiti offences that occurred in and around Dorking over the last few months. However, offences are still being committed. If you know of anyone who is committing graffiti then please call us. You may qualify for £100 mobile phone credit.

Thank you.
