Rural Crime: Warning To Rural Premises To Be on the Alert After Burglary At Farm Premises In Hook, North Hampshire


Basingstoke Security Keyholders are urging all farm and rural property owners in the Basingstoke, Hook, Farnham and Fleet areas of north Hampshire to have urgent regard to the following communcation from Hampshire Police:

Do you have sheds, barns, garages or outbuildings containing valuable equipment such as power tools, gardening equipment or quad bikes?

Please be on your guard after a burglary at a farm premises in Hook. This is believed to be part of a series of similar incidents across rural areas in Hart district and beyond.

This burglary occurred between 10pm and 10.20pm on January 2 at a farm premises in Well, Hook. The owner was alerted by an alarm going off on an outbuilding. He went to investigate and saw three suspects, who initially ran off.

However, they returned carrying crow bars and started to behave in an aggressive manner towards the victim. He retreated to his house where his wife was also present. Two of the suspects remained outside the house but smashed the front door window, causing a cut to the woman's eye.

The other suspect broke into the outbuilding and stole a red Honda TRX500 quad bike. All three then made off down a footpath, possibly to a waiting vehicle. We are appealing to anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously in the area on that night or if they saw a four by four, possibly a Navarro style vehicle) that night. It may have had the quad bike in tow. If you have any dash cam footage, please review it and get in touch.

It's also possible the suspects may have been at the location a couple of days before.

If you have any information about this crime, please get in touch by calling 101 and quoting reference 44210001936.

We are also warning people not to confront suspects. Call the police on 999 immediately if a crime is in progress.

Two males, one wearing hi viz, were entering the substantial property which is undergoing full redevelopment and refurbishment. With the Webeye system, we had live video evidence of their progress through the building.
