LONG EATON BURGLARIES

A 31-year-old man has been charged with three burglaries in Long Eaton. Robert Moss was remanded to prison after being charged with three burglaries in the Long Eaton area. He is alleged to have burgled homes in Parkside Avenue on 1st January, Curzon Street on 6th January and Springfield Avenue on 27 January. Robert Moss, of Upper Wellington Street, appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on 29th January where he was remanded to prison.

Inspector Ed Browne, who leads the policing team in Erewash, said: “In the three cases detailed above - a number of allegedly stolen items have been found behind walls, in bushes and around bins.  “I would therefore ask that people in the Long Eaton area keep their eyes open to items such as bags, wallets or jewellery that appear to have been abandoned in unusual areas. If you do find anything that may be of interest please contact the force.”

We’re sharing this as part of Operation Derbyshire, a dedicated operation which sees staff and officers highlighting the excellent work that is going on to tackle certain crime types which you, our communities, told us you wanted to hear more about via the Police and Crime Commissioner’s public consultation.

These crimes include speeding; wildlife, heritage and rural crime, and community crimes like anti-social behaviour.

Operation Derbyshire runs until the end of May and will also showcase the work that we and our partners do to support victims and bring offenders to justice.
