Plant Displays
Staff and Councillors from Cinderford Town Council wish to thank the Forest North Neighbourhood Policing Team who investigated reports of criminal damage caused to plant displays throughout Cinderford High Street and the surrounding town area during the early hours of Thursday 27 August 2026.
Officers carried out enquiries, obtaining CCTV evidence and witness statements.
As a result of those enquiries, a 47-year-old woman from Coleford was arrested by neighbourhood officers, interviewed and subsequently charged with criminal damage.
She is due to appear before Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court in October 2026.
PC Bishop said: “We hope this positive action reassures the community of Cinderford that we take reports of antisocial behaviour and criminal damage seriously. We will investigate reports and work to bring offenders of this kind of behaviour to justice.”
This post is to encourage residents and local businesses to report incidents of antisocial behaviour and criminal damage to police. Your reports help us build a picture of what is happening in our communities, target our patrols and take positive action where appropriate.
Thank you to everyone who provided information and assisted officers with this investigation.
