Police are advising people to be extra vigilant after suspicious devices have been placed on two ATM’s (cash machines).

Between 6.30pm and 6.45pm on Tuesday 14th February, a device was placed on the ATM at a store at Granby Croft, Granby Road, Bakewell. While the person reporting this incident went inside the store to alert staff, the device was removed by the offender/s. Incident no: 509 of 14.2.12.

Just before 6.30pm on Wednesday 15th February, three men were seen acting suspiciously at a bank ATM, The Quadrant, Buxton. One of the men had placed a plastic object over the slot on the machine and then removed it when disturbed by a customer. Description: three men of Eastern European appearance, about 6ft tall, aged 40-50 years, well dressed. They headed towards the alley at the side of Pizza Express. Incident no: 573 of 15.2.12.

Crime prevention advice:

• Members of staff at premises with cash machines should check ATM’s regularly.

• Members of the community should check ATM’s carefully and avoid using them if there is a device on the machine or if anyone is acting suspiciously nearby. These offenders tend to maintain observations on the ATM during this type of incident.

• Report any suspicious activity around ATM’s to the bank or store and call Derbyshire police.

Anyone with information or CCTV near these locations should call 101, quoting the above incident number.

Thank you.

Work is been done to arrange alternative services, and details will be advised as soon as available.

Members outside the club pavilion

Following the recent closure of the Centurion Pub, members of the Gamesley Bowling Club have found themselves short of a much needed facility.

That facility being access to nearby toilets for teams and members playing at the club, and with the cost’s for developing a permanent facility on the site of the bowling green being very high, the club are on the look out for anyone that can help them with a temporary solution to the problem, to prevent the loss of teams currently playing on the green.

If you can help, please get in touch and we will pass you’re details on to the club.

Some time between 12pm and 3.20pm on Monday 28th March, two bicycles were stolen from a garden on Castleton Grove, Glossop.
