Once again I am pleased to report that we have had a quiet few months in our village.
Our PCSO Teresa Key is still with us until she is posted to either Louth or Skegness in October. There will not be any Police Community visits to be held in our hall from Teresa but she is hoping to attend one of the days when we have the Back In Time weekend in August.

Three people were stopped and searched in Horncastle under the Misuse of Drugs Act and were arrested after drugs were found.
Horncastle Police are urging people to remain vigilant against pickpockets on Horncastle High Street. On Thursday 13th July an elderly man who had been using the ATM machine was approached by two woman with clipboards. Both woman claimed to have been collecting signatures and money for a deaf charity. After providing his signature the victim noticed his watch had been taken off his wrist.
In June another man was approached in Horncastle by two woman with clipboards also asking for signatures and money for a deaf charity. After providing his signature and talking with both woman the victim realised a sum of money had been taken from his wallet.
Police advice on how to keep safe from pickpockets. Be aware of your surroundings in busy shops, markets and shopping centres. These are ideal places for pickpockets . Keep purses and bags closed at all times. Return cards to your purse and wallet quickly to make sure it is secure. Try to carry your bags in front of you or diagonally across your chest. Keep wallets, purses and phones in a zipped pocket or inside a bag and not in your back pocket. Stay alert at all times and if you see any suspicious activity taking place please ring and report it to the police.
Horncastle Police have received calls regarding theft of oil. Please make sure your property is secure at all times.
