Cycle for Youth
A team of Police Officers, Community Support Officers and Special Constables from Surrey Police and British Transport Police, will be cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats between 6th May and 9th May 2005.

These Officers are giving up their own time to cycle 900 miles in just 3 days!
They aim to ride in 3 teams cycling in 3 hour shifts, in a relay night and day.
They aim to raise enough funds to supply the Youth Clubs in Mole Valley with several Minibuses in an effort to improve facilities for youth in the District.

This is a tough challenge and involves a great deal of planning and physical effort. We would be grateful for any support you can offer us. If you would like to make a donation to this cause,
then please send or deliver donations to:

Cycle for Youth, Leatherhead Police Station, Kingston Road, Leatherhead

Cheques payable to “CYCLE FOR YOUTH”.

Motor vehicle thefts

As the warm weather starts there has been an increase in the amount of theft from motor vehicles in the beauty spot car parks. People are reminded not to leave valuables in their vehicles and not to hide them either as the thieves may be watching you.
Equally, burglaries tend to rise during the spring and summer months with occupants going away. We can offer advice on security. Please call PC Mike Bessent or your local beat officer for more information.

If you see anyone acting suspiciously around premises or vehicles then please contact us immediately.

Two males have been charged with a series of Graffiti offences that occurred in and around Dorking over the last few months. However, offences are still being committed. If you know of anyone who is committing graffiti then please call us. You may qualify for £100 mobile phone credit.

Thank you.

Acting NSO Sergeant 2411
