Alert over flour left

FLOUR put outside a house sparked a call to the police.

Two residents in Earls Road, Fareham, were worried they were left as markings by criminals to target homes.

PCSO Hollie Cartwright, of Fareham police, said: ‘However, following police enquiries it has been confirmed that these were placed by a local running club, as part of an organised running activity that took place later that evening.’
