Watch out for stone thieves

West Yorkshire Police are asking villagers to be vigilant following a series of stone thefts in neighbouring villages. Thieves have been taking Yorkshire stone from paths and gardens in broad daylight, often in mornings using stolen closed and open vans. If you see anyone taking up a stone path, be suspicious and consider taking a picture on your mobile phone and alerting the police.

Meanwhile East Keswick has enjoyed a crime free month again.
