FREE PROPERTY MARKING | Our rural crime team can help you to mark your property with specialist kits for free.

🔎 The kits use a unique DNA solution that can be applied to tools, vehicles, machinery, and other valuable assets.

It's virtually invisible but can be detected under UV light. This gives an indisputable link between stolen property and its rightful owner.

It's been proven to be a powerful deterrent against theft and an invaluable tool in recovering stolen items.

🎵 Loud music

Having to tolerate either constant or intermittent nuisance noise can be exhausting.

Your local council / environmental health should be your first contact for reporting nuisance noise as this isn’t always a matter for the police - https://orlo.uk/ldfNG

THEFT | We are appealing for information following the theft of a tent from the grounds of Maldwyn Nursery, Park Lane, Newtown.

The theft is believed to have occurred between 5:45pm on Friday The 31st of July and 7:00am on Monday The 3rd of August.

Officers are asking anyone who may have seen the suspects, witnessed any suspicious activity, or captured footage that could assist the investigation to come forward.

The suspects are believed to have carried the stolen tent on foot from the nursery, travelling through Trehafren, past the basketball courts in Vaynor, before entering one of the residential cul-de-sacs in the Vaynor area.

Members of the public travelling on, or living along, this route are urged to review any CCTV, Ring doorbell, dashcam or other security footage covering the relevant date and time. Even if you did not witness the incident itself, your footage may have captured the suspects or the movement of the stolen tent and could provide vital evidence.

Every piece of information has the potential to assist officers in identifying those responsible. Your information could be the crucial piece of evidence that helps progress this investigation.

If you have any information that might help our investigation, please get in touch:
