Unfortunately as no translator was available they were cautioned. The so called pencil drawings are actually photocopies which must cost them max. 5p to produce and they are selling them door to door at two for £10. Hence the watch advice not to deal with anyone who calls at the door. GENERAL MESSAGE FOR CAR OWNERS IN THE AREA: THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS THIS MONTH OF THEFT FROM UNATTENDED MOTOR VEHICLES PARKED IN PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS AND ON ROADS. THE OFFENDERS ARE INTERESTED IN SATNAV SYSTEMS. THE POLICE ADVISE THAT THE SYSTEM AND HOUSING ARE REMOVED WHEN LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE.
