Have you heard of smartwater ?

It's a clear liquid for marking possessions and valuables and is a bit like DNA.  It offers a way of detecting stolen goods if they are discovered which often then brings about their recovery and the capture and arrest of the thief.  The system usually costs £60 but in areas which have been targeted by thieves the Police are offering the marking kits for £15.

PC Chris Linzey, Neighbourhood Supervisor, will be in the Village on 4 February visiting properties and offering smartwater at the reduced cost.
