HTC UPDATE January 2025

It was lovely to see good attendance supporting the town at both the light switch on and Extravaganza despite the weather. The team thoroughly enjoyed both events.

On the 7^th December several calls were made to Police of reports there was a male armed with a hammer near to the Redwood House area smashing up a vehicle. We are unable to make further comment on this incident at this time as the investigation is ongoing.

On the morning of 27^th December the team arrested a male from an address in Hungerford on suspicion of carrying out 6 x shopliftings in the town over the last few weeks.
