Fuel price rises/registration plate thefts – from Wealden District Police
Following the recent price rises for fuel, Wealden Police are advising everyone who stores fuel on their premises to review their security. Such price rises are often linked to a rise in fuel thefts especially from farmers who keep a stock of diesel for use in their work. Heavy duty padlocks, additional lighting and increased surveillance can all assist in preventing such thefts.

In addition, theft of number plates from ordinary cars also increase, with the plates then being used on vehicles which are involved in drive off's from garage forecourts. This type of theft can often be prevented by fixing your number plates with special screws which cannot easily be undone. These screws are available free from Uckfield, Crowborough, and Hailsham

Police Stations or come along to Halfords at the Bellbrook Industrial Estate between 5pm and 8pm on either Wednesday the 5th or Thursday 6th December 2007, when officers and Halfords staff will be on hand to assist with supplying and fitting the screws which only takes a couple of minutes and is totally free. Insp. Richard Allum stated, "We are asking people to take a moment now to see if they can increase their security and prevent these offences occurring."

For further advice on either of these offences please contact the local Crime Prevention Officer Dave Smith at Hailsham

Police Station on 01323 414008.

Rutting season
A member of Community Contact kindly emailed in to remind all road users about the deer rutting season. Please can all road users exercise caution, especially in hours of darkness, by being aware of deer darting out from hedgerows into the road. These animals can cause a lot of damage to your vehicle, not to mention the injury to themselves if they are lucky to survive a hit. Be careful.

I have spoken to the Highways department and been advised of the following: if you hit an animal on an ‘A’ road, major trunk road contact the Highways Department on 08457 504030, if it’s a minor road contact Police on 0845 6070999 and report it this way.
