When speaking to members of the community we are often told how much you appreciated any good news that the Police have been involved in. As such we will be providing monthly bulletins detailing the positive arrests or work that has been done recently.

The police recently told os the OWL Member who reported seeing a van which led to an arrest of three men stealing bicycles in their van. Here’s a summary of some of the recent activities of the police:

• Three Arrested for breaking in to a Work van
• Three men were arrested and charged following a theft from a Work Van in Maple Cross. A witness called the police and the area was quickly covered by units in the area.
• The three men are in custody with investigations on-going.
• This again shows the importance of phoning any suspicious behaviour in to the police. In this instance where the informant saw the crime occurring please call “999”, otherwise please call “101”. We have two specialist teams set up for Burglaries and Vehicle crime in the area so are well placed to keep Three Rivers as the safest district to live and work in the county.
• Two arrested for Burglary
• Two people were arrested in conjunction with a burglary which occurred recently in HAZELWOOD LANE, ABBOTS LANGLEY. The house safe was removed which contained several exclusive watches. One of these watches was later spotted on a popular selling website and investigations led to a man and a woman from Leavesden being arrested and bailed while further investigations are undertaken.
• Six arrested following a drugs warrant in South Oxhey Six people were arrested on suspicion of the supply of Class A drugs following a warrant which was executed in Oxhey yesterday (Sunday, March 18). The warrant, which was executed by officers from the Borehamwood and Hemel Hempstead Tactical Team, took place in Oxhey Drive at 11.30am. A large amount of suspected Class A drugs and a significant quantity of cash were recovered. The following people were arrested on suspicion of the supply of Class A drugs: · A 32 year old man from Bushey · A 26 year old man from Watford · A 23 year old man from Watford · A 21 year old man from Watford · A 20 year old woman from Marlow Bottom · A 22 year old woman from Stokenchurch. They have all been released on police bail until April, pending further enquiries. Police act on information received from the public, as well as evidence gathered about suspected crime before carrying out a warrant of this nature.
