Our village PCSO will be at the Parish Council Office this Wednesday 11am -12pm, if you’d like to talk to him about this or any other matter.

🚨 CPT are aware of several complaints relating to the game of "knock and run" involving several youths in the village of Thurston during the hours of darkness 🚨

For some, this may seem like harmless fun. However, some of the footage recently obtained shows a complete disregard for the impact this behaviour has on residents, particularly elderly and vulnerable members of our community, who can be left feeling distressed, intimidated, or concerned for their safety.

CPT officers are currently in the process of identifying those involved and, over the coming days, will be carrying out some door knocks of their own 👍

We ask parents and guardians to speak with their children about the consequences of this behaviour and the effect it can have on others. What may be intended as a prank can quickly become anti-social behaviour and may result in police involvement where offences are identified such as criminal damage.

To those involved, consider this a friendly reminder that while "knock and run" relies on being quick on your feet without falling over... CCTV doesn't need to be đź‘€

We thank residents for their continued support and encourage anyone with relevant information or footage to come forward.

CPT officer PC 663 GEDNEY has been been out on patrol in Thurston this evening đź‘®

The rule of thumb on Hallowe’en is that if a house has decorations out, polite trick-or-treaters are usually welcome.

If there are no decorations, then please skip that house. Also, if a tub of treats is left outside, please only take one so others can enjoy them, too.

If you prefer not to have callers, please don't feel obliged to answer the door. You can also print off a "Do Not Disturb" poster from the Suffolk Constabulary website to put in your window
