Do you know anyone who trains dogs and currently has a number of Siberian Huskies? One of these Huskies attacked a Spaniel dog causing superficial injuries, but the person with the Huskies was said to be very aggressive and foul mouthed. This person is described as a slightly built female possibly in her 50’s. If you have any information please call 101 or email 101@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.ukquoting Crime No. 16492/15. Thank you

Alert
A very suspicious man was seen walking along the lane from the back entrance to the golf course up the hill towards Yarde. He walked out in front of a vehicle and never looked at the vehicle. He then took out a bandana and covered his face so that he could not be seen. He then headed towards the fields owned by Tom and Wilma. This has been reported to the police but I think parishioners should be aware. Alex Austin

If you are quick, you can see the images along with all the…
