Cable theft in the winterton and Broughton areas.
In the last weeks it has been widely publicised in the local media that several offences have been reported where cable has been stolen from pylons in the area around Winterton.
Overnight 12-13/10/2013 there were two further thefts of cable from overhead power lines. One occurred at Broughton and another at Howsham. A further offence was reported in Castlethorpe on 21/10/2012
We did
Police resources will be deployed into the area in an attempt to both catch and deter the offenders.
In the meantime please report anything you consider suspicious in the location of power lines or electric substations to the police.
It appears that these offences are likely occurring in the early hours. If you do stop up late and have a sudden and unexplained power cut whilst these offences are taking please report power failure to the police via the non emergency number ( 101). Call takers have been briefed to expect such calls.
Anyone with any further information about these offences is requested to contact Sgt Garlick at Brigg Police station.

Local vagrant.
There have been concerns voiced in recent weeks regarding the welfare and actions of a local man who wanders the streets and gives the appearance of being a vagrant.
We did
Police have attended and spoken with the male in question who had experienced some difficulty following a close friend having left the area who had been offering support to him. Support and regular care are in place to support him and ensure he has accommodation and monitoring to aid him when required. There have been no further reports over the past week.

Access to woodland.
For many years the general public have been given permissive access to local woodland but in recent times areas of the woods have been sold off and access has dwindled as new owners have taken ownership and erected fencing. Local people have asked where they can legally walk and certain owners have retained the permissive access clearly marking the footpaths. However there are those who have ignored this and on one such occasion the lady owner has been assaulted when challenging someone found off the marked pathway.
We did
As a result police investigated the incident and the matter was resolved without prosecution as per the wishes of the lady land owner. This has highlighted the owners continuing resolve to allow the general public to be able to enjoy the woods but whilst keeping to the clearly marked paths. We hope this may continue to be the case for many years to come.
