The thefts of two kayaks were among the six crimes reported in Porthleven during September.

These were taken on the same evening, in the same location, and remains an ongoing investigation, with PCSO Paul Whitford telling town councillors there were “bits of intelligence” they were following up on.

Other crimes included a dispute where abusive and threatening behaviour was used, a domestic-related assault, and criminal damage when a window was smashed.

PCSO Whitford said finally damage was caused to a motor vehicle and since then there had been a couple more reported.
