News on Fish Thieves
We had an amazing response to last weeks announcement about intruders with night lines, spikes and rings, with emails and telephone calls, so a big thanks to everyone. We have been able to run cameras back to times and days stated by the different correspondence and cut onto disc happenings for the police as evidence. We will keep you posted on progression and still ask everyone to keep an eye on the lakes if passing.
A night watchman is due to start soon so offering even more security as well as Ann & Arty living on site and the CCTV cameras, and season ticket holders doing night fishing will obviously be on the lakes also. Many Thanks keep an eye on your waters as fish theft’s is happening all over the country.
NB I apologise but I will not be stating best pegs or size of fish caught because this then gives the thieves knowledge of where to target. I will try to keep anglers informed but information that is more general.
