Crime commissioner falls victim of sat-nav thief

Dorset’s first police and crime commissioner has become the vic-
tim of theft while at a meeting discussing crime in the community.

Martyn Underhill’s force pool car was broken into and the sat-nav stolen while the vehicle was parked at the Sovereign Centre in Boscombe, where he was attending a meeting on Monday.

Mr Underhill said: “We all know Boscombe does have a crime issue. The irony of this incident has not been lost on me.”

He had spent just over two hours at the meeting, discussing plans to create an unpaid advocate to support the commissioner in helping to address community issues.

Mr Underhill said the thief had forced their way in after he accidentally left a window ajar.
