BEDROCK Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Apparently over recent weeks there has been a serious spree of burglaries in and around Hackenthorpe, people have been broken into left and right, there is apparently a woman knocking on doors then these properties are getting done in and there is also meant to be a white van involved so just to inform you, beware and keep your eyes and ears open while keeping things locked. Here is a Facebook group set up for it: http://www.facebook.com/groups/333468066768834/335875999861374/?notif_t=group_activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade73 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Funny you say that I live in S12 and today I was cleaning the windows and noticed a woman slowly walking up the road and stopping/slowing down outside each house and looking up, thought it a bit odd. She was late 40s/early 50s with jet black hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkiepudd Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 and there is also a lot of unsubstantiated rumours and scaremongering going on as well. yes there were some burglaries in the new year but there has been nothing anywhere approaching the scale of what is being suggested.

Blade73 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 For the police to employ Mounted Police and coppers on the beat in the area, (which I have seen personally) suggests its more than just a couple of incidents. TBH I'm glad there's been this ott coverage cos it shows its unusual here and people give a toss and wont accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby-bosh Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 yorkiepudd.. There have been 40+ incidents mentioned since Christmas. The police have been out in marked/unmarked cars, on foot in uniform/plain clothes, horseback, bikes and pushbikes. They have had officers issuing smart water in Frecheville. Yet you say its nothing like the scale being suggested.. What planet are you on sorry?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkiepudd Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The mounted police were here for one night in the new year. I also saw them living in the heart of the S12 area. And yes, its good that it's been brought to everyone's attention and made them think about there own security, but reading some of the things said anyone would think there's another 10 every night and that is not happening. ---------- Post added 12-01-2013 at 22:29 ---------- yorkiepudd..

Blade73 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 There has been posts on here in connection with this that have been scaremongering and you get the impression its by trolls wanting a reaction, ie the dog being killed. A lot of people don't know where Frecheville is from my experience. I've always found it a good place to live, pretty quiet and people give a toss about the area. Its been a spate of break ins and no doubt it'll move on to some other area or hopefully they'll be caught. No one wants the place they live in to be known as a crime hotstop but are using the forum to give people a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
