Following the spate of boat burglaries earler this year, Wiltshire Police has set up a Canal Watch scheme. The scheme will run in a similar way to the Farm Watch scheme. Members will receive a text alert from the Police or Emergency Contact Centre at the time a relevant incident is reported.
The scheme is co-ordinated by PC Teresa Herbert who is based at Pewsey. If you wish to join Canal Watch in Wiltshire, please email the following information to PC Herbert: Your name; mobile number; email address and boat name. PC Herbert’s email address is teresa.herbert@wiltshire.pnn.police.uk.
If you want to join Canal Watch but you don’t have email, please ring or text 07928 078208 with your name, phone number and boat name and we will pass your details on.
