After a post-lockdown ‘spike’ in April, then a ‘quieter’ month in May, June again saw an increase in Ruddington crimes reported to Rushcliffe Police.
Statistics just released show there were fifteen incidents logged by officers for our village during last month – which is 50% more than in the month before. As detailed below – in the latest figures supplied to us by our PCSO, Sherrylee Sampson – four of these offences were thefts from motor vehicles whilst three were burglaries – types of incident which had not been reported during May.
Residents are reminded that, where possible, we should ensure our vehicle is parked on our driveway – or in the garage if we have one. Otherwise be sure to park overnight in a well lit area. We’re also reminded about the importance of home security – particularly making our homes look ‘lived in’ if we’re going away on a summer holiday.
