  East Dorset Police have asked parents not to panic after suspicious incidents in Alderholt and Hampshire sparked unfounded Internet rumours.

  Sometime during the summer some unscrupulous person, or as I call them 'some thieving little git', emptied the grit out on to the road and stole the Parish grit bin situated at the junction of Jessopp Road and Cutlers Place.
