The local Neighbourhood Team reports monthly. Incidents of note over the last month;
2 reported thefts from Co-op in Leyburn have resulted in 3 arrests
For the last 2 months we have had reports of people receiving messages purporting to be from family members which are fake. These messages claim to be in some trouble and need financial assistance. Whoever sends the message appears to have knowledge of the family make up and can come across as genuine. If you receive any such message, please report it to us on 101 or online.
There was a total of 29 crimes recorded in the area during February. I do not report crimes whereby victims could potentially be identified for example, domestic violence or harassment, although they are included in the totals below.
