Thieves left empty-handed after overnight break in at an allotment in Kineton
THIEVES left empty handed after 19 sheds on an allotment in Kineton were broken into last week.
Although no property was reported stolen, allotment holders were left once again footing the bill for new locks, doors and side panels when the overnight break in occurred on Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th April.
It’s the second time the sheds have been raided in as many months but there’s no CCTV footage or any other meaningful evidence for police to act on other than 101 reports made to them by allotment holders.
John Rose is an allotment holder who told the Herald: “I’d just put a new lock and a new door on my shed on the allotment that day and it was broken into overnight. The same thing happened about two months ago and rotavators and strimmers were taken then. I don’t think anything was pinched this time.”
Police have urged Kineton allotment holders to be extra vigilant and if they have any information about the break ins to report it.
