Local News
There have been unknown vehicles and persons seen traveling through the district and also seen in the proximity of houses and sheds in the last month or so.
So, keep your eyes and ears open, have a pen and note pad handy, and remember, if you have a dash cam your footage could be vital to any police investigation.
Rural crime investigation is like a jigsaw puzzle, lots of small pieces of information can come together to form the big picture. Your observations could be the missing piece needed by police to solve a crime and preventing further criminal activities.
