Dear Residents,

Happy new year to you all. Here is your first crime update message for Silhill of 2026. (1st to 10th January)

Two unknown offenders used angle grinders to steal the doors from a Land Rover on Streetsbrook Road. The offenders arrived in a car, possibly a Red Peugeot, with no plates.

An Audi Q5 was stolen from Lighthorne Road. Offenders arrived in a red Fiat Punto and stole the Audi via unknown means.

There was an attempt to steal an Audi SQ5 from FRAMEFIELD DRIVE, offenders were disturbed before they were able to steal the vehicle.

Good News!

Officers on our team caught someone who was in a car on false plates. These officers only joined our team this week, an excellent start!
