I HAVE noticed in the Gazette the seemingly increasing numbers of thefts from vans in Chippenham and no reports of anyone being caught. I assume all thefts do not appear in the paper. I know of one recently and the police did not even visit the site.
Also the weekly number of mostly booze and meat thefts from mainly supermarkets and though there is a siting still no arrests.
It seems to me that the police are under-staffed and that with the supermarket thefts they should engage staff to apprehend offenders.
With regard to the van thefts the police should watch for vans about in the night-time.
