Burglary good news

Dear Resident

You'll have all had various emails from myself or my colleagues over the last few weeks requesting information or CCTV following burglaries in which vehicles have been stolen well today our media team have released the below update and I wanted to send it out via ITK for those of you who don't use Facebook. 

The burglary team have worked incredibly hard to secure these charges and I'm so pleased and proud of the work that they've done to make it possible for me to send this message out just before I go off duty for the weekend. I for one will enjoy my weekend far more knowing that these individuals have been detained. 

Enjoy your weekend to :-)
