Village Alert: Door Step Traders

This week’s Banbury Guardian warns of the rise of doorstep traders and the link to burglaries.

A Horley resident recently had an incident of a  guy trying to sell items from a bag on his shoulder. He said he was selling goods as he was on a new scheme helping to rehabilitate ex offenders. The  police are saying many of these doorstep traders have fake ID’s and they are just scouting round the villages for vulnerable properties or people.

It is recommended that you report this type of non emergency activity to the Thames Valley Police on 101. See the new Village Alerts page  for all previous notices.

If you would like receive Thames Valley Alerts directly then you can register here (also under  useful links) you may also want to see our local neighbour police site which can be found here Banbury Rural

It’s Saturday night, and the village Burns night, and I’m in the Red Lion, where I’ve popped in for one, but appear to have stayed. I’m with lovely new friends and my neighbour, R, and we’re at the table by the fire, glugging white wine and saying we really must go up the hill.

‘I’ve had no lunch,’ I say, draining my second glass. The new friends laugh when I say I can’t hold my drink. ‘Really,’ I say. ‘I’m a liability. And we really are going to be dreadfully late.’

J drains his pint and we’re off, roaring up the hill in the type of car that comes with a free Labrador. We park outside St Ethelreda’s, and for a moment J looks appalled. ‘Christ,’ he says. ‘Don’t tell me we’re eating in the church?’
