The number of reported crimes in Ruddington fell last month – according to figures for February just released by Rushcliffe Police. In fact, there were just NINE offences in total – most of those being drive-offs from Ruddington Service Station. However SIX motorists sped off without paying for their fuel between the 1st and 28th February – which is a continuing problem for the Loughborough Road premises. Inspector Craig Berry told RUDDINGTON.info: “That could be solved overnight if the petrol station were to charge in advance. This is a very long…

During the last six months in particular, Ruddington seems to have been hit by an unprecedented crime-wave. As well as the usual vehicle and shed break-ins, we’ve reported a spate of burglaries, local traders being targeted and hanging basket thefts. We’ve even had a distraction thief being wrestled to the ground in our village centre by passers-by until police could get here to arrest him. Only yesterday we reported another break-in at Wayte Court. But is it REALLY that BAD and, if so, is a lack of local policing to…

More Ruddington Vehicle Break-ins

31st August 201731st August 2017 Graham Wright

Rushcliffe Police are reporting another spate of thefts from vehicles in their patch over the last two days – THREE of them in Ruddington. These latest incidents took place at Woodhouse Gardens – and in all three cases there were no signs of forced entry. It seems the thieves may have again been targeting vulnerable vehicles – as was the case on Bladon Road, Upper Canaan and Peacock Close in July. Ruddington residents are urged to remain vigilant against more possible attempted thefts. If you clocked any registration plates of suspicious vehicles…
