Theft of Scout tents - please help

Dear Parents and Friends of the Scout Group,

Sometime between late Monday night (12th) and early Wednesday evening we had some tents stolen from the Histon Scout stores - behind the hut, near the IVC tennis courts on Park Drive.

We need your help, eyes & ears please.

Given our location, apart from "the professional" (and we're not exactly a high target), there are only a few groups of people who are likely to pass through our area. The Scouts/Guide groups (hopefully unlikely), the school and local teenagers going out onto the playing fields. All fall into the social age range of our Scouts and their siblings.

Has anyone come across any odd conversations/behaviour/bragging? Has their child been asked by a mate to look after a package for a while in their garage/room or been invited onto an unexpected camping trip?

The hiking tent bags are about 60cm long by 20cm diameter, black/blue/green. Others are a little larger in all dimensions.

Any information will be gratefully received and treated sensitively.

Kind regards,
Paul Smith
