NORTH SWINDON: North Swindon police officers are appealing for witnesses following break-ins at Whitworth Road Cemetery.

Thieves have recently targeted storage areas used by ground staff and stolen equipment and fuel. This has made it difficult for staff to carry out the work needed to keep the cemetery land neat and tidy.

Anyone who has been offered cheap gardening equipment, tools or fuel is asked to contact police, as well as anyone who may have information which may help to solve these crimes.

Call 101, email swindonnorthnpt@wiltshire.pnn.police.uk or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
